Lyubeznik numbers of almost complete intersection and linked ideals (Q2134267)

Let \(A\) be a local commutative Noetherian ring containing a field \(k\). Associated to \(A\) are some invariants called the ``Lyubeznik numbers'' of \(A\), \(\lambda_{i,j}(A)\), defined in terms of certain local cohomology: \(\lambda_{i,j}(A) = \dim_k \hbox{Ext}_R^i (k, H_I^{n-j}(R))\). The authors are interested in describing the Lyubeznik numbers using linkage. Earlier, the authors jointly with Eghbali initiated a study in this direction. The present paper continues this work. Specifically, they study properties of these numbers for almost complete intersection ideals and for squarefree monomial ideals which are linked in two steps.
