Quasi-Gorenstein extended Rees algebras associated with filtrations

Abstract

This paper investigates the quasi-Gorenstein property of extended Rees algebras associated with the Hilbert filtrations on a Noetherian local ring. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the deformation of the quasi-Gorenstein property, characterized by the Cohen-Macaulayness of the Matlis dual of local cohomology modules. As a consequence, we offer a characterization of the quasi-Gorenstein property of extended Rees algebras in terms of conditions on the length of local cohomology.
