Hypersurfaces of bounded Cohen–Macaulay type

Let R=k[[x0,…,xd]]/(f), where k is a field and f is a non-zero non-unit of the formal power series ring k[[x0,…,xd]]. We investigate the question of which rings of this form have bounded Cohen–Macaulay type, that is, have a bound on the multiplicities of the indecomposable maximal Cohen–Macaulay modules. As with finite Cohen–Macaulay type, if the characteristic is different from two, the question reduces to the one-dimensional case: The ring R has bounded Cohen–Macaulay type if and only if image, where gset membership, variantk[[x0,x1]] and k[[x0,x1]]/(g) has bounded Cohen–Macaulay type. We determine which rings of the form k[[x0,x1]]/(g) have bounded Cohen–Macaulay type.
