Primary powers of a prime ideal

L. Robbiano and Giuseppe Valla

Vol. 63 (1976), No. 2, 491–498
Abstract

In this paper we show that the powers of a prime ideal p are primary iff the direct summands of the graded ring associated with p are torsion-free. We prove some consequences of this fact especially in connection with geometric situations.
