Generalized mixed sequence multiplicity
Abstract
Let (R,m,k) be a Noetherian local ring, let M be a nonzero finitely generated R-module, and let J1,…,Js be arbitrary proper ideals of positive height on M. We introduce the notion of directional mixed multiplicities, obtained from the multigraded quotients JuM/Ju+ejM by retaining one distinguished direction j. These invariants refine the mixed multiplicity sequences of arbitrary ideals while remaining compatible with the two classical extremes: for one ideal they recover the positive components of the Achilles--Manaresi multiplicity sequence, and for m-primary ideals their top-degree terms recover the usual mixed multiplicities individually. We establish additivity, an associativity formula, superficial reduction, and an exact decomposition of the diagonal coefficients into directional components. Over an infinite residue field, every positive directional coefficient is realized as an eventual length by a sufficiently general directional (FC)-system. We then identify an additional synchronization condition under which the directional coefficient becomes the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity of a parameter ideal, yielding a Rees-type theorem and recovering the classical theorem in the m-primary case. In addition, we show a multihomogeneous product formula for J1n1⋯ Jsns, which specializes to the classical Bhattacharya--Rees--Teissier formula.

AB - Let (R,m,k) be a Noetherian local ring, let M be a nonzero finitely generated R-module, and let J_1,…,J_s be arbitrary proper ideals of positive height on M. We introduce the notion of directional mixed multiplicities, obtained from the multigraded quotients J^uM/J^u+e_jM by retaining one distinguished direction j. These invariants refine the mixed multiplicity sequences of arbitrary ideals while remaining compatible with the two classical extremes: for one ideal they recover the positive components of the Achilles--Manaresi multiplicity sequence, and for m-primary ideals their top-degree terms recover the usual mixed multiplicities individually. We establish additivity, an associativity formula, superficial reduction, and an exact decomposition of the diagonal coefficients into directional components. Over an infinite residue field, every positive directional coefficient is realized as an eventual length by a sufficiently general directional (FC)-system. We then identify an additional synchronization condition under which the directional coefficient becomes the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity of a parameter ideal, yielding a Rees-type theorem and recovering the classical theorem in the m-primary case. In addition, we show a multihomogeneous product formula for J_1^n_1⋯ J_s^n_s, which specializes to the classical Bhattacharya--Rees--Teissier formula.
