On rees and form rings of almost complete intersections

From MaRDI portal





Let \(I\) be an almost complete intersection ideal in a local ring \(A\). The authors prove that if the associated graded ring \(\text{gr}_ A(I)\) is Gorenstein, then \(A/I\) is Cohen-Macaulay; hence \(I\) is necessarily unmixed. Now assume in addition that \(A\) is Gorenstein. The authors prove that if \(\text{ht}(I)=2\), then the Rees ring \(R(I)\) is Gorenstein if and only if \(A/I\) is Cohen-Macaulay, and hence \(I\) is unmixed. However, if ht\((I)=1\) and \(R(I)\) is Gorenstein, they show that \(I\) is not unmixed. \((R(I)\) is not Gorenstein if \(\text{ht}(I)>2\).) The authors also give some special cases where \(R(I)\) Gorenstein determines the structure of \(A\) and \(A/I\).
