Bounds on the a-invariant and reduction numbers of ideals

Abstract: Let

R

be a

d

-dimensional standard graded ring over an Artin local ring. Let

M

be the unique maximal homogeneous ideal of

R .

Let

h^{i} (R)_{n}

denote the length of

H_{M}^{i} (R)_{n}

, i.e. the nth graded component of the ith local cohomology module of R with respect to M. Define the Eisenbud-Goto invariant of

R

to be the number

EG(R)= sum_{q=0}^{d-1} �inom{d-1}{q} h^q(R)_{1-q}.

We prove that the

a

-invariant of

R

satisfies

a(R) leq e(R)-length(R_1)+(d-1)(length(R_0)-1)+ EG(R).

Using this bound we get upper bounds for the reduction number of an

m

-primary ideal of a Cohen-Macaulay local ring

(R, m)

whose associated graded ring

G (m)

has almost maximal depth.
