Mar 30, 2018 at 19:21 comment added O-Ren Ishii @JasonStarr Thank you for a helpful answer. Could you explain briefly why every associated prime $\mathfrak{p}$ of $J$ being of height $2$ implies that every associated prime of $I$ has height $1$ or $2$?
Aug 8, 2017 at 11:51 comment added Jason Starr "for an ideal $I$ generated by $n$ elements ..." In fact, for every local Cohen-Macaulay ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$, for every sequence $(a_1,\dots,a_n)$ of elements in $\mathfrak{m}$, the sequence is a regular sequence if and only if every minimal prime over $I=\langle a_1,\dots,a_n \rangle$ has height $\geq n$, and then $R/I$ is also Cohen-Macaulay, cf. Theorem 17.4, p. 135, Matsumura, Commutative ring theory. Then, by the unmixedness theorem, every associated prime of $I$ is minimal of height $n$. Thus, if $I$ has embedded primes, then some minimal prime has height $<n$.
Aug 8, 2017 at 3:02 comment added Pham Hung Quy Nice! Do you have any example for monomial ideal? Could you explain more the sentence: for an ideal $I$ generated by $n$ elements in a regular local ring $R$, every embedded prime is contained in a minimal prime of height strictly less than $n$.
