On column invariant and index of Cohen-Macaulay local rings

Abstract

We show that the Auslander index is the same as the column invariant over Gorenstein local rings. We also show that Ding's conjecture ([3]) holds for an isolated non-Gorenstein ring $A$ satisfying a certain condition which seems to be weaker than the condition that the associated graded ring of $A$ is Cohen-Macaulay.

Keywords: column invariant, index, Loewy length, Cohen-Macaulay ring, Gorenstein ring
