Super-stretched and graded countable Cohen-Macaulay type (Q401709)

The author introduces the notion of super-stretched Cohen-Macauley ring as a standard graded Cohen-Macaulay ring \((R,\mathfrak{m},k)\) of dimension \(d\) such that for all homogeneous systems of parameters \(x_1,\dots,x_d\), \(\text{dim}_k\left(\frac{R}{(x_1,\dots,x_d)}\right)_i\leq 1\) for all \(i\geq \text{deg}(x_j)-d+2\). He proves that Cohen-Macaulay rings of graded countable Cohen-Macaulay type are super-stretched, and as a consequence, he shows that rings of graded countable Cohen-Macaulay type, and positive dimension, have possible \(h\)-vectors \((1)\), \((1,n)\), or \((1,n,1)\). Also, it is proved that one-dimensional standard graded Gorenstein rings of graded countable type are hypersurfaces.
