Bounds related to projective equivalence classes of good filtrations
Abstract
Let II be a regular ideal in noetherian ring AA. Mc Adam and Ratliff showed the existence of the unique minimal reduction number of II, noted e=e(I)∈ℕ, such that for every minimal reduction Y of I, YIe=Ie+1 and YIe−1≠Ie. They showed that the set of integers {e(In),n∈ℕ} is bounded in terms of the analytic spread of I. Here, we extend these results to good filtrations. Let f=(In)n∈ℕ be a good filtration on A, we show that the set of integers {e(In),n∈ℕ} is bounded.
