Sep 30, 2010 at 16:19 comment added Karl Schwede One should point out that in the geometric situation, if one additionally assumes that $x_1, \dots, x_n$ form a set of generators for the maximal ideal, then this means that $\Spec R/I$ and $\Spec R/J$ intersect (only at the origin) as transversally as possible.

Sep 30, 2010 at 8:58 comment added Ariyan Javanpeykar This means that I and J are in general position. This is a quite strong restriction which implies that I and J are both complete intersections. You could think about linearly independent linear forms. Basically, what happens algebraically is that Serre´s tor formula for the intersection of two subvarieties simplifies because the higher Tor´s vanish (as you mentioned). (Note that I and J intersect properly if they are in general position. Krull's hauptidealsatz or something..)
