“…Therefore, the Rees algebra R is Buchsbaum by Theorem 1.1. For instance, if A possesses the canonical module K A and if the idealization A K A is a Buchsbaum ring, then by [Y1,Theorem 3.3] the -primary ideal = satisfies the equality 2 = . On the other hand, according to [CP,Theorem 2.2], if A is a Cohen-Macaulay local ring which is not a regular local ring, the -primary ideal = satisfies the equality 2 = .…”
