Uniform Lech's inequality

Abstract: Let

(R, m a t h f r a k m)

be a Noetherian local ring of dimension

d g e q 2

. We prove that if

e (w i d e h a t R_{r e d}) > 1

, then the classical Lech's inequality can be improved uniformly for all

m a t h f r a k m

-primary ideals, that is, there exists

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

such that

e (I) l e q d! (e (R) - v a r e p s i l o n) e l l (R / I)

for all

m a t h f r a k m

-primary ideals

I s u b s e t e q R

. We also obtain partial results towards improvements of Lech's inequality when we fix the number of generators of

I

.
