Let
be an ideal of a regular
local ring
with residue
field
. The length of the
minimal free resolution of
is called the codepth of .
If it is at most ,
then the resolution carries the structure of a differential graded algebra, and the induced algebra
structure on
provides for a classification of such local rings.
We describe the
Macaulay2 package
CodepthThree that implements an algorithm
for classifying a local ring as above by computation of a few cohomological
invariants.
