Abstract

Providing a description of linked ideals in a commutative Noetherian ring in terms of some associated prime ideals, we make a characterization of Cohen-Macaulay, Gorenstein and regular local rings in terms of their linked ideals. More precisely, it is shown that the local ring (R,\fm) is Cohen-Macaulay if and only if any linked ideal is unmixed. Also, (R,\fm) is Gorenstein if and only if
any unmixed ideal \fa is linked by every maximal regular sequence in \fa.
We also compute the annihilator of top local cohomology modules in some special cases.
