Bounds on the second Hilbert coefficient and the depth of the associated graded ring

Let $(R, \mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring of dimension $d \geq 1$ with $\mathrm{depth} R \geq d-1,$ and let $I$ be an $\mathfrak m$-primary ideal. In this paper, we study bounds on the second Hilbert coefficient of $I$, denoted by $e_{2}(I)$. Under the assumption that the associated graded ring $G(I)$ has depth...
