Abstract:

Let $A$ be a local ring and let $I\subset A$ be an ideal of positive height. If $J\subset I$ is a reduction of $I$, then the coefficient ideal $\mathfrak{a}(I,J)$ is by definition the largest ideal $\mathfrak{a}$ such that $I\mathfrak{a}= J\mathfrak{a}$. In this article we study the ideal $\mathfrak{a}(I,J)$ when the Rees algebra $R_A(I)$ is Cohen-Macaulay.
