On the Chern number of II-admissible filtrations of ideals

Let $I$ be an \m-primary ideal of a Noetherian local ring (R, \m) of positive dimension. The coefficient $e_1(\mathcal I)$ of the Hilbert polynomial of an $I$-admissible filtration $\mathcal I$ is called the Chern number of $\mathcal I$. A formula for the Chern number has been derived involving Euler characteristic of subcomplexes of a Koszul complex. Specific formulas for the Chern number have been given in local rings of dimension at most two. These have been used to provide new and unified proofs of several results about $e_1(\mathcal I)$

Hilbert series of fiber cones of ideals of almost minimal mixed multiplicity

Let (R, m) be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring and I be an m-primary ideal. We introduce ideals of almost minimal mixed multiplicty which are analogues of ideals studied by J. Sally. The main theorem describes the Hilbert series of fiber cones of these ideals.Comment: 12 page
