Rees algebras of truncations of complete intersections

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper we describe the defining equations of the Rees algebra and the special fiber ring of a truncation I of a complete intersection ideal in a polynomial ring over a field with homogeneous maximal ideal m. To describe explicitly the Rees algebra R(I) in terms of generators and relations we map another Rees ring R(M) onto it, where M is the direct sum of powers of m. We compute a Groebner basis of the ideal defining R(M). It turns out that the normal domain R(M) is a Koszul algebra and from this we deduce that in many instances R(I) is a Koszul algebra as well.


Let \(R=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n], \mathfrak{m}=(x_1,\ldots,x_n)\) where \(K\) is a field. Understanding the defining equations of the Rees algebra of an ideal is one of the central problems in commutative algebra. In this paper, the authors explicitly describe the defining equations of the Rees algebra and the special fiber ring of a truncation \(I\) of a complete intersection ideal in \(R\) (Theorem 3.9, Corollary 3.12). They achieve this by explicitly computing a Gröbner basis of the defining ideal of the Rees algebra \(\mathcal{R}(M)\), (Theorem 2.4) where \(M\) is a direct sum of the powers of \(\mathfrak{m}\). Furthermore, they deduce some instances where \(\mathcal{R}(I)\) is a Koszul algebra.
