Review text

Let \((A,M)\) be a local ring with \(A/M\) algebraically closed and let \(I\) be an integrally closed \(M\)-primary ideal. In this paper, the author studies families of integrally closed \(M\)-primary ideals adjacent to \(I\). The main theorem asserts that if \(A\) is an excellent normal ring with two \(M\)-primary integrally closed ideals \(I\supset J\), there exists an integrally closed ideal \(I'\) with \(I\supset I'\supset J\) and \(l_ A(I/I')=1\). In fact, if \((A,M)\) is a Noetherian local ring with dimension \(d\), there is a one-to-one correspondence between the set of integrally closed ideals \(I'\) such that \(I\supset I',\;l_ A(I/I')=1\) and the set of closed points of Proj\((\bigoplus_{n\geq 0}(I^ n/MI^ n))\) so that the set of such ideals is an algebraic variety of dimension \(d-1\). But, even if \((A,M)\) is a regular local ring, the family \(\{J\mid J\supset I,\;l_ A(J/I)=1\) and \(J\) is integrally closed\(\}\) has a completely different behavior. Nevertheless, in case \(A\) is a 2-dimensional ring, \(I\) has a unique integrally closed adjacent ideal \(J\supset I\) if and only if \(I\) is irreducible. At last, when \((A,M)\) is a 2-dimensional rational singularity, the author gives a geometric description of integrally closed ideals \(J\) with \(l_ A(I/J)=1\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 1020.00012].
