Abstract

The associated Buchsbaum–Rim multiplicities of a module are a descending sequence of non-negative integers. These invariants of a module are a generalization of the classical Hilbert–Samuel multiplicity of an ideal. In this article, we compute the associated Buchsbaum–Rim multiplicity of a direct sum of cyclic modules and give a formula for the second to last positive associated Buchsbaum–Rim multiplicity in terms of the ordinary Buchsbaum–Rim and Hilbert–Samuel multiplicities. This is a natural generalization of a formula given by Kirby and Rees.
