On the Cohen-Macaulay property of the Rees algebra of the module of differentials

Abstract: Let

R

be an algebra essentially of finite type over a field

k

and let

O m e g a_{k} (R)

be its module of K"ahler differentials over

k

. If

R

is a homogeneous complete intersection and

m a t h r m c h a r (k) = 0

, we prove that

O m e g a_{k} (R)

is of linear type whenever its Rees algebra is Cohen-Macaulay and locally at every homogeneous prime

m a t h f r a k p

the embedding dimension of

R_{m a t h f r a k p}

is at most twice its dimension.
