Abstract

An inequality is established involving colengths of the tight closure of ideals of systems of parameters in local rings with some mild conditions. As an application, a proof is given of a result due to Goto and Nakamura (first conjectured by Watanabe and Yoshida), which states that the Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity of a parameter ideal is greater than or equal to the colength of the tight closure of the ideal. The result is also further refined.
