Feb 28 at 6:28 comment added imtrying46 Do you have a reference for the formula $e(\mathfrak{m}/(f),R/(f))=\operatorname{ord}(f)e(\mathfrak{m},R)$?

Apr 23, 2013 at 21:15 comment added Youngsu Sorry about that. You are absolutely correct. Let me edit that part. One example is when $R = \mathbb{C}[[x]]$. For $f \in R$ One can not talk about a the highest degree in general, but there is well defined lowest degree. This is the order of $f$. Or where the Taylor series of $f$ at $0$ starts.
Apr 23, 2013 at 18:42 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain Your definition of $\mathrm{ord}(f)$ confuses me because for one thing, it does not depend on $f$ at all and second, $I\in m^i$ looks a lot like you ment to write $f\in m^i$.
Apr 23, 2013 at 18:28 comment added Youngsu The definition of ord is what I used. It is in the second last sentence of the first paragraph. One good fact that might help you is that for a local ring $(R,m)$, $e(m,R) = e(gr_m(R)_+, gr_m(R))$ where $gr_m(R)_+ = \oplus_{i \ge 1} [gr_m(R)]_i$. Maybe it is worth looking at the definition of the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity in commutative algebra, the degree in algebraic geometry. Also, the associativity formula in commutative algebra can give a connection between geometric multiplicity in algebraic geometry.
Apr 23, 2013 at 7:22 comment added Jesko Hüttenhain I suppose $\mathrm{ord}(f)=\sup\{ i\mid f\in m^i \}$, yes? So basically, I can use my definition in the case where $X$ is a regular scheme, which might just be good enough for me. +1 and thanks!
