No label defined (Q3972815)

[For the entire collection see Zbl 0716.00007.] Let \(R\) be a Noetherian ring, and let \(M\) be a finite \(R\)-module with \(N\) a submodule of \(M\). For a prime ideal \(Q\) in \(R\) set \(A=R/Q\) and \(L^{(r)}=Q^ r(M/N)/Q^{r+1}(M/N)\), \(r\geq 0\). The prime ideal \(P\supset Q\) is said to be Zariski-regular with respect to \((M,N,Q)\) if \(A_ P\) is regular, and for all \(r\geq 0\), \(L_ P^{(r)}\) is free over \(A_ P\). This concept has been essential in the proof of a theorem of uniform Artin-Rees type, the authors stated in J. Reine Angew. Math. 394, 203-207 (1989; Zbl 0659.13002)]. ``The purpose of the present paper is to bring out certain general features'' of this notion, ``and to give further properties of it''.
