Abstract: It is shown (under mild conditions) that the sum of transversal ideals in a regular local ring cannot lie in the linkage class of a complete intersection. For a sum of geometrically linked Cohen-Macaulay ideals, we compute the depths of the conormal module and the first Koszul homology. As applications, we construct general examples of ideals which are strongly Cohen-Macaulay, strongly nonobstructed but not in the linkage class of a complete intersection, and Gorenstein ideals which are strongly nonobstructed but not syzygetic.
