✦ Synopsis
Let (A; m) be a local noetherian ring with inÿnite residue ÿeld and I an ideal of A. Consider RA(I ) and GA(I ), respectively, the Rees algebra and the associated graded ring of I , and denote by l(I ) the analytic spread of I . Burch's inequality says that l(I )+inf {depth A=I n ; n ≥ 1} ≤ dim(A), and it is well known that equality holds if GA(I ) is Cohen-Macaulay. Thus, in that case one can compute the depth of the associated graded ring of I as depth GA(I )=l(I )+inf {depth A=I n ; n ≥ 1}.
We study when such an equality is also valid when GA(I ) is not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay, and we obtain positive results for ideals with analytic deviation less or equal than one and reduction number at most two. In those cases we may also give the value of depth RA(I ).

Let R be a local Cohen᎐Macaulay ring, let I be an R-ideal, and let G be the associated graded ring of I. We give an estimate for the depth of G when G fails to be Cohen᎐Macaulay. We assume that I has a small reduction number and sufficiently good residual intersection properties and satisfies local
Recently we developed a new method in graph theory based on the regularity lemma. The method is applied to find certain spanning subgraphs in dense graphs. The other main general tool of the method, besides the regularity lemma, is the so-called blow-up Ž w Ž .x lemma Komlos, Sarkozy, and Szemeredi
Let G be a finite group acting linearly on a vector space V over a field K of positive characteristic p and let P ≤ G be a Sylow p-subgroup. Ellingsrud and Skjelbred [Compositio Math. 41 (1980), 233-244] proved the lower bound for the depth of the invariant ring, with equality if G is a cyclic p-gr
