Rees algebras of ideals having small analytic deviation
Rees algebras of ideals having small analytic deviation
In this article we identify two large families of ideals of a Cohen-Macaulay (sometimes Gorenstein) local ring whose Rees algebras are Cohen-Macaulay. Our main results imply, for example, that if <inline-formula content-type="math/mathml"> <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" alttext="left-parenthesis upper R comma upper M right-parenthesis"> <mml:semantics> <mml:mrow> <mml:mo stretchy="false">(</mml:mo> <mml:mi>R</mml:mi> <mml:mo>,</mml:mo> <mml:mi>M</mml:mi> <mml:mo stretchy="false">)</mml:mo> …
