Depth and kernel of multiplication map

132 Views Asked by At

If $A$ is a commutative $k$-algebra, $\mu: A\otimes_k A\rightarrow A$ is its multplication map and $I$ is the kernel of that map (viewed as an $A\otimes_k A$-module map) then what is the relationship between:

Depth(A) and the number of generators of $I$?
