An ADE correspondence for grade three perfect ideals

Abstract

Using the theory of "higher structure maps" from generic rings for free resolutions of length three, we give a classification of grade 3 perfect ideals with small type and deviation in local rings of equicharacteristic zero, extending the Buchsbaum-Eisenbud structure theorem on Gorenstein ideals and realizing it as the type D case of an ADE correspondence. We also deduce restrictions on Betti tables in the graded setting for such ideals.
