This theory is based on the fact that in a nœtherian ring, large powers of an ideal are well behaved in some sense. It gives useful tools in commutative algebra and also in algebraic geometry. This theory has been developed at the beginning by D. Rees and M. Nagata and more recently by many other authors.
