N2 - Let (A,m) be a local noetherian ring with infinite residue field and I an ideal of A. Consider RA(I) and GA(I), respectively, the Rees algebra and the associated graded ring of I, and denote by l(I) the analytic spread of I. Burch's inequality says that l(I)+inf{depthA/In,n≥1}≤dim(A), and it is well known that equality holds if GA(I) is Cohen-Macaulay. Thus, in that case one can compute the depth of the associated graded ring of I as depthGA(I)=l(I)+inf{depthA/In,n≥1}. We study when such an equality is also valid when GA(I) is not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay, and we obtain positive results for ideals with analytic deviation less or equal than one and reduction number at most two. In those cases we may also give the value of depthRA(I).
