Let (S, 𝔫) be an s-dimensional regular local ring with s > 2, and let I = (f, g) be an ideal in S generated by a regular sequence f, g of length two. As in [2, 3], we examine the leading form ideal I* of I in the associated graded ring G: = gr𝔫(S). Let μ G (I*) = n ≥ 3, and let {ξ1, ξ2,…, ξ n } be a minimal homogeneous system of generators of I* such that ξ1 = f* and ξ2 = g*, and c i : = deg ξ i ≤ deg ξ i+1: = c i+1 for each i ≤ n − 1. For m ≤ n, we say that K m : = (ξ1,…, ξ m )G is an ideal generated by part of a minimal homogeneous generating set of I*. Let D i : = GCD(ξ1,…, ξ i ) and d i = deg D i for i with 1 ≤ i ≤ m. Let K m be perfect with ht G K m = 2. We prove that the following are equivalent: 1. deg ξ i+1 = deg ξ i + (d i−1 − d i ) +1, for all i with 3 ≤ i ≤ m − 1; 2. deg ξ i+1 ≤ deg ξ i + (d i−1 − d i ) +1, for all i with 3 ≤ i ≤ m − 1. Furthermore, if these equivalent conditions hold, then K m = I*. Moreover, if e(G/K m ) = e(G/I*), we prove that K m = I*. We illustrate with several examples in the cases where K m is or is not perfect.
