The Rees Valuations of Complete Ideals in a Regular Local Ring

Rees Valuations

This expository paper contains history, definitions, constructions, and the basic properties of Rees valuations of ideals. A section is devoted to one-fibered ideals, that is, ideals with only one Rees valuation. Cutkosky [5] proved that there exists a two-dimensional complete Noetherian local integrally closed domain in which no zero-dimensional ideal is one-fibered. However, no concrete ring ...

Complete Ideals in 2-dimensional Regular Local Rings

The objective of these notes is to present a few important results about complete ideals in 2–dimensional regular local rings. The fundamental theorems about such ideals are due to Zariski found in appendix 5 of [26]. These results were proved by Zariski in [27] for 2dimensional polynomial rings over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and rings of holomorphic functions. Zarisk...

Multiplicities and Rees Valuations

Let (R, m) be a local ring of Krull dimension d and I ⊆ R be an ideal with analytic spread d. We show that the j-multiplicity of I is determined by the Rees valuations of I centered on m. We also discuss a multiplicity that is the limsup of a sequence of lengths that grow at an O(nd) rate.

The Regular Digraph of Ideals of a Commutative Ring

Let R be a commutative ring and Max (R) be the set of maximal ideals of R. The regular digraph of ideals of R, denoted by −−→ Γreg(R), is a digraph whose vertex set is the set of all non-trivial ideals of R and for every two distinct vertices I and J , there is an arc from I to J whenever I contains a J-regular element. The undirected regular (simple) graph of ideals of R, denoted by Γreg(R), h...
