This paper complements the various existing bounds for the number of generators \(\nu(I)\) of an ideal \(I\) by the following interesting results. Let \((R, \mathbf m)\) be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring of dimension \(d\). Let \(I \subset {\mathbf m}^2\) be an \(\mathbf m\)-primary ideal. Then (1) \(\nu(I) < e(I) \leq d!\ell(R/\overline I)\deg(R)\), (2) \(\nu(I) \leq \big(\ell(R/I)-t-{\nu(\mathbf m)\over 2}+2\big)\big(\nu(\mathbf m)-1\big)\), where \(t\) is the least integer for which \({\mathbf m}^t \subseteq I\) (the nilpotency index of \(R/I\)). The paper also discusses bounds for \(\nu(I)\) in the case \(I\) being a non-\textbf{m}-primary Cohen-Macaulay ideal. For the entire collection see [Zbl 1020.00012].
