The structure of sally modules and Buchsbaumness of associated graded rings

Abstract

AbstractLet A be a Noetherian local ring with the maximal ideal m, and let I be an m-primary ideal in A. This paper examines the equality on Hilbert coefficients of I first presented by Elias and Valla, but without assuming that A is a Cohen–Macaulay local ring. That equality is related to the Buchsbaumness of the associated graded ring of I.
