On the recurrent property of canonical modules of rees rings (Q4382455)

\textit{Z. Tang} generalizes a theorem of \textit{S. Ikeda} from Nagoya Math. J. 102, 135-154 (1986; Zbl 0585.13014) and of \textit{Ngô Viêt Trung, Duong Quôc Viêt} and \textit{S. Zarzuela} [J. Algebra 175, No. 1, 173-156 (1995; Zbl 0827.13012)]. Ikeda had proved that when \(I\) is an ideal of grade at least \(2\) in a Noetherian local ring \(A\), the Rees algebra \(R(I)\) is Gorenstein if and only if the canonical module of \(A\) is \(A\) and the graded canonical module of \(G(I)\) is \(G(I)(-2)\), where \(G(I)\) is the associated graded ring. Ngô Viêt Trung, Duong Quôc Viêt and S. Zarzuela generalized this to a result on filtrations \(F\) for which the Rees algebra \(R(F)\) is Noetherian: \(R(F)\) is Gorenstein if and only if \(R(F)\) is Cohen-Macaulay and the canonical module \(K(G(F))\) of \(G(F)\) equals \(G(F)(-2)\) in degrees 2 and higher, where \(G(F)\) is the graded ring associated with \(F\). \textit{Z. Tang} proves in the paper under review that for the equivalence one may, under extra assumptions, assume only the equality of \(K(G(F))\) and \(G(F)(-2)\) in sufficiently high degrees. One of the sufficient extra assumptions is that the grade of the first ideal in the filtration is at least \(2\).
