Abstract:

Given a Noetherian tensor product of two Noetherian algebras over a field and proper ideals $I$ and $J$ in the two algebras, we determine the associated primes of each power of $I+J$ in terms of the associated primes of lower powers of $I$ and of $J$. We record two applications. First, in case the field is algebraically closed, we construct primary decompositions for powers of $I+J$ from primary decompositions for powers of $I$ and $J$. Separately, we attack the persistence problem for associated primes of powers of an ideal in case one of $I$ or $J$ is a non-zero normal ideal.
