Abstract
2.1 Introduction Our basic object of study is a Cohen-Macaulay local ring (R, m) of dimension d and its R-ideals. The examination of the asymptotic properties of such ideals has evolved into a challenging area of research, touching most aspects of commutative algebra, including its interaction with computational algebra and algebraic geometry. It takes expression in several graded algebras attached to I, among which we single out the Rees algebra R[It], the associated graded ring grI(R) and the special fiber ring F(I) of I; namely, R[It] = ∞⊕k=0 Iktk, grI (R) = R[It]/IR[It], F(I) = R[It]/mR[It].
