Remark 10.69.7 (Other types of regular sequences). In the paper [Kabele] the author discusses two more regularity conditions for sequences $x_1, \ldots , x_ r$ of elements of a ring $R$. Namely, we say the sequence is Koszul-regular if $H_ i(K_{\bullet }(R, x_{\bullet })) = 0$ for $i \geq 1$ where $K_{\bullet }(R, x_{\bullet })$ is the Koszul complex. The sequence is called $H_1$-regular if $H_1(K_{\bullet }(R, x_{\bullet })) = 0$. One has the implications regular $\Rightarrow $ Koszul-regular $\Rightarrow $ $H_1$-regular $\Rightarrow $ quasi-regular. By examples the author shows that these implications cannot be reversed in general even if $R$ is a (non-Noetherian) local ring and the sequence generates the maximal ideal of $R$. We introduce these notions in more detail in More on Algebra, Section 15.30.
