In mathematics, Buchsbaum rings are Noetherian local rings such that every system of parameters is a weak sequence. A sequence ( a 1 , , a r ) {\displaystyle (a_{1},\cdots ,a_{r})} of the maximal ideal m {\displaystyle m} is called a weak sequence if m ( ( a 1 , , a i 1 ) : a i ) ( a 1 , , a i 1 ) {\displaystyle m\cdot ((a_{1},\cdots ,a_{i-1})\colon a_{i})\subset (a_{1},\cdots ,a_{i-1})} for all i {\displaystyle i} .

They were introduced by Jürgen Stückrad and Wolfgang Vogel (1973) and are named after David Buchsbaum.

Every Cohen–Macaulay local ring is a Buchsbaum ring. Every Buchsbaum ring is a generalized Cohen–Macaulay ring.
