Abstract

Let (R, m) be a d-dimensional quasi-unmixed Noetherian local ring and B ⊆ F := Rr an equimultiple finitely generated R-module of rank r and analytic spread s. Let Ir (B) denote the 0-th fitting ideal of F/B. In this paper, we use Buchsbaum-Rim polynomial of B ⊆ F to prove the existence of a chain of modules B ⊆ Bs ⊆ ··· ⊆ B1 , between B and its integral closure , where Bk is the unique largest submodule of F containing B such that ei(B????) = ei((Bk )????) for 1 ≤ i ≤ k and every minimal prime ???? of Ir (B). The number ei(B????) is the ith Buchsbaum-Rim coeffcient of B???? in F????. The module Bk is called the kth equimultiple coefficient module of BF. We obtain Bs = ()u, the unmixed part of the Ratliff-Rush module . In fact, we prove that each Bk is an unmixed Ratliff-Rush module.
