Vasconcelos' positivity conjecture for normal Hilbert coefficients

About 16 years old · traced to

Let (R,m)(R,\mathfrak{m}) be an analytically unramified Noetherian local ring of positive dimension, and let II be an m\mathfrak{m}-primary ideal. Vasconcelos' positivity conjecture. The first normal Hilbert coefficient satisfies

e‾1(I)≥0.\overline{\mathrm{e}}_{1}(I)\geq 0.

The conjecture asserts nonnegativity of the first normal Hilbert coefficient for primary ideals in analytically unramified local rings.
