Abstract:

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 $(R,M)$ is a regular local ring and $P$ is a prime ideal of $R$ such that ${P^n}$ is unmixed for all $n \geq 1$, then the Rees algebra $R[Pt]$ is Cohen-Macaulay if either $\dim (R/P) = 2$, or $\dim (R/P) = 3,R/P$ is Cohen-Macaulay, and $R/P$ is integrally closed.
