On Fiber Cones of 𝑚-Primary Ideals

Abstract: Two formulas for the multiplicity of the fiber cone

F (I) = o p l u s_{n = 0}^{i n f t y} I^{n} / m I^{n}

of an

m

-primary ideal of a

d

-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring

(R, m)

are derived in terms of the mixed multiplicity

e_{d - 1} (m | I),

the multiplicity

e (I)

and superficial elements. As a consequence, the Cohen-Macaulay property of

F (I)

when

I

has minimal mixed multiplicity or almost minimal mixed multiplicity is characterized in terms of reduction number of

I

and lengths of certain ideals. We also characterize Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein property of fiber cones of

m

-primary ideals with a

d

-generated minimal reduction

J

satisfying (i)

e l l (I^{2} / J I) = 1

or (ii)

e l l (I m / J m) = 1.
