Let $(R,\m)$ be a Noetherian local ring $I, J$ two ideals of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R-$module. It is first shown that for $k\geq -1$ the integer $r_k = \depth_k(I,J^nM/J^{n+1}M)$, it is the length of a maximal $(J^nM/J^{n+1}M)-$sequence in dimension $>k$ in $I$ defined by M. Brodmann and L. T. Nhan \cite{BN}, becomes for large $n$ independent of $n$. Then we prove in this paper that the sets $\bigcup_{j\le r_k}\Ass_R(H^j_I(J^nM/J^{n+1}M))$ with $k=-1$ or $k=0$, and $\bigcup_{j\le r_1}\Ass_R(H^j_I(J^nM/J^{n+1}M))\cup\{\m\}$ are stable for large $n$. We also obtain similar results for modules $M/J^nM$.
In this paper we consider the local cohomology of monomial ideals with respect to monomial prime ideals and show that all these local cohomology modules are tame.
Let $J$ be an ideal of a noetherian local ring $R$. We show new results on the set of attached primes $\Att_R(\LCMo ^l_J(R))$ of a local cohomology module $\LCMo ^l_J(R)$. To prove our results we establish and use new relations between the set $\Att_R(\LCMo ^l_J(R))$ of attached primes of a local cohomology module and the set $\Ass_R(D(\LCMo ^l_J(R)))$ of associated primes of the Matlis dual of the same local cohomology module.
This paper at first concerns some criteria on Artinianness and vanishing of formal local cohomology modules. Then we consider the cosupport and the set of coassociated primes of these modules more precisely.
This is an expanded version of a lecture on finiteness properties of local cohomology modules given at the 48th Algebra Symposium held at Nagoya University in August 2003.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. Considering the new concept of linkage of ideals over a module, we study associated prime ideals, cofiniteness and Artinianness of local cohomology modules of $M$ with respect to some linked ideals over it.
After motivating the question we prove various results about the set of associated primes of Matlis duals of top local cohomology modules. In some cases we can calculate this set, for the general situation we present a conjecture. An easy application of this theory is the well-known fact that Krull dimension can be expressed by the vanishing of local cohomology modules.
Local cohomology modules, even over a Noetherian ring $R$, are typically unwieldly. As such, it is of interest whether or not they have finitely many associated primes. We prove the affirmative in the case where $R$ is a Stanley-Reisner ring over a field, whose associated simplicial complex is a $T$-space.
We construct normal hypersurfaces whose local cohomology modules have infinitely many associated primes. These include unique factorization domains of characteristic zero with rational singularities, as well as F-regular unique factorization domains of positive characteristic. As a consequence, we answer a question on the associated primes of Frobenius powers of ideals, which arose from the localization problem in tight closure theory.
Lyubeznik's conjecture, (\cite{Ly1}, Remark 3.7) asserts the finiteness of the set ssociated primes of local cohomology modules for regular rings. But, in the case of ramified regular local ring, it is open. Recently, in Theorem 1.2 of \cite{Nu1}, it is proved that in any Noetherian regular local ring $S$ and for a fixed ideal $J\subset S$, associated primes of local cohomology $H^i_J(S)$ for $i\geq 0$ is finite, if it does not contain $p$. In this paper, we use this result to construct examples of local cohomology modules for ramified regular local ring so that they have finitely many associa…
Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. In this paper we proved that if $\operatorname{Supp}\mathfrak{F}_\mathfrak{a}^i(M)$ is finite for all $i<t$, then so is $\operatorname{Ass}(\mathfrak{F}_{\mathfrak{a}}^t(M))$.
We provide a Hochster type formula for the local cohomology modules of binomial edge ideals. As a consequence we obtain a simple criterion for the Cohen-Macaulayness of these ideals and we describe their Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and their Hilbert series. We also prove a conjecture of Conca, De Negri and Gorla relating the graded components of the local cohomology modules of binomial edge ideals and their generic initial ideals.
We study the deformation theory of quotients of polynomial rings by quadratic monomial ideals. More precisely we compute the first cotangent cohomology module of such rings. We also give a criterion for vanishing of second cotangent cohomology module.
Some affirmative answers are given to Huneke's problems. The calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to an arbitrary pair of ideals $I,J$ can be reduced to calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to a pair of ideala whose first ideal is generated by any $k$-regular sequence in $I$.
Let (R,m) be a complete Noetherian local ring and let M be a finite R--module of positive Krull dimension n. It is shown that any subset T of Assh_R(M) can be expressed as the set of attached primes of the top local cohomology module H^n_a(M) for some ideal a of R. Moreover if a is an ideal of R such that the set of attached primes of H^n_a(M) is a non--empty proper subset of Assh_R(M), then H^n_a(M)=H^n_b(M) for some ideal b of R with dim_R (R/b)=1.
Let $I$ and $J$ be two ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and $M$ be an $R$-module of dimension $d$. If $R$ is a complete local ring and $M$ is finite, then attached prime ideals of $H^{d-1}_{I,J}(M)$ are computed by means of the concept of co-localization. Also, we illustrate the attached prime ideals of $H^{t}_{I,J}(M)$ on a non-local ring $R$, for $t= \dim M$ and $t= cd(I,J,M)$.
Let $R$ be an excellent regular ring of dimension $d$ containing a field $K$ of characteristic zero. Let $I$ be an ideal in $R$. We show that $Ass \ H^{d-1}_I(R)$ is a finite set. As an application we show that if $I$ is an ideal of height $g$ with $height \ Q = g$ for all minimal primes of $I$ then for all but finitely many primes $P \supseteq I$ with $height \ P \geq g +2$, the topological space $Spec^\circ(R_P/IR_P)$ is connected.
We introduce a notion of generalized local cohomology modules with respect to a pair of ideals $(I,J)$ which is a generalization of the concept of local cohomology modules with respect to $(I,J).$ We show that generalized local cohomology modules $H^i_{I,J}(M,N)$ can be computed by the Čech cohomology modules. We also study the artinianness of generalized local cohomology modules $H^i_{I,J}(M,N).$
Let $R=k[x_1,\dots,x_n]$ be a ring of polynomials over a field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$. There is an algorithm due to Lyubeznik for deciding the vanishing of local cohomology modules $H^i_I(R)$ where $I\subset R$ is an ideal. This algorithm has not been implemented because its complexity grows very rapidly with the growth of $p$ which makes it impractical. In this paper we produce a modification of this algorithm that consumes a modest amount of memory.
We provide new results on the vanishing of local cohomology modules supported at ideals of minors of matrices over arbitrary commutative Noetherian rings. In the process, we compute the local cohomology of rings of polynomials with integer coefficients---supported at generic determinantal ideals---and also obtain results on F-modules and D-modules that are likely to be of independent interest.
We find sufficient conditions which imply equality of the finitistic test ideal and test ideal in rings of prime characteristic. Utilizing recent progress from the prime characteristic minimal model program we equate the notions of $F$-regular and strongly $F$-regular for 4-dimensional rings essentially of finite type over a field of prime characteristic $p>5$.
Let $\fa$ be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $t$ be a natural integer. It is shown that there is a finite subset $X$ of $\Spec R$, such that $\Ass_R(H_{\fa}^t(M))$ is contained in $X$ union with the union of the sets $\Ass_R(\Ext_R^j(R/\fa,H_{\fa}^i(M)))$, where $0\leq i<t$ and $0\leq j\leq t^2+1$. As an immediate consequence, we deduce that the first non $\fa$-cofinite local cohomology module of $M$ with respect to $\fa$ has only finitely many associated prime ideals.
In this paper, we prove some well-known results on local cohomology with respect to a pair of ideals in graded version, such as, Independence Theorem, Lichtenbaum-Harshorne Vanishing Theorem, Basic Finiteness and Vanishing Theorem, among others. Besides, we present a generalized version of Melkersson Theorem about Artinianess of modules and a result concerning Artinianess of local cohomology modules.
We generalize some known results on the relation between the cohomological and projective dimension. Then we examine the set-theoretically Cohen-Macaulay ideals to find some cohomological characterization of these kind of ideals.
For a finitely generated module $M$, over a commutative Noetherian local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$, it is shown that there exist only a finite number of non--isomorphic top local cohomology modules $\mathrm{H}_{\mathfrak{a}}^{\mathrm{dim} (M)}(M)$, for all ideals $\mathfrak{a}$ of $R$. We present a reduced secondary representation for the top local cohomology modules with respect to an ideal. It is also shown that for a given integer $r\geq 0$, if $\mathrm{H}_{\mathfrak{a}}^{r}(R/\mathfrak {p})$ is zero for all $\mathfrak{p}$ in $\mathrm{Supp}(M)$, then $\mathrm{H}_{\mathfrak{a}}^{i}(M)= 0$ for…
We construct an example where a local cohomology module of a hypersurface has p-torsion elements for every prime integer p, and consequently has infinitely many associated prime ideals. We also answer a related question of Hochster.
Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of Noetherian ring $R$ and let $M$ be an $R$-module such that $\mathrm{Ext}^i_R(R/\mathfrak{a},M)$ is finite $R$-module for every $i$. If $s$ is the first integer such that the local cohomology module $\mathrm{H}^s_\mathfrak{a}(M)$ is non $\mathfrak{a}$-cofinite, then we show that $\mathrm{Hom}_{R}(R/\mathfrak{a}, \mathrm{H}^s_\mathfrak{a}(M))$ is finite. Specially, the set of associated primes of $\mathrm{H}^s_\mathfrak{a}(M)$ is finite. Next assume $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ is a local Noetherian ring and $M$ is a finitely generated module. We study the last integer $n…
Let $R$ be a noetherian local ring. We consider the following quastion: Does there exist an integer $n$ such that all idelas generated by a system of parameters contained in the $n$-th power of the maximal ideal have the same Betti numbers? We obtain a positive answer for some rings with finite local cohomology.
We find conditions on the local cohomology modules of multi-Rees algebras of admissible filtrations which enable us to predict joint reduction numbers. As a consequence we are able to prove a generalisation of a result of Reid-Roberts-Vitulli in the setting of analytically unramified local rings for completeness of power products of complete ideals.
The purpose of this paper is to give some equivalent conditions to the socle and Bass numbers' conjectures which raised by C. Huneke in (Problems on local cohomology, Free resolutions in commutative algebra and algebraic geometry, Res. Notes Math. 1992, pp. 93-108). In addition, some results about certain Gorenstein ideals are included.
For a Noetherian regular ring $S$ and for a fixed ideal $J\subset S$, assume that the associated primes of local cohomology module $H^i_J(S)$ does not contain $p$ for some $i\geq 0$, and we call this as a property $\textit{\textbf{P}}^{i,p}_{J,S}$ or $\textit{\textbf{P}}$ for brevity. Recently, in Theorem 1.2 of \cite{Nu1}, it is proved that in a Noetherian regular local ring $S$ and for a fixed ideal $J\subset S$, associated primes of local cohomology module $H^i_J(S)$ for $i\geq 0$ is finite, if it does not contain $p$. In this paper, we study how the property $\textit{\textbf{P}}$ (as menti…
The notion of weakly Laskerian modules was introduced recently by the authors. Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $M$ a weakly Laskerian module. It is shown that if $\fa$ is principal, then the set of associated primes of the local cohomology module $H_{\fa}^i(M)$ is finite for all $i\geq 0$. We also prove that when $R$ is local, then $\Ass_R(H_{\fa}^i(M))$ is finite for all $i\geq 0$ in the following cases: (1) $\dim R\leq 3$, (2) $\dim R/\fa\leq 1$, (3) $M$ is Cohen-Macaulay and for any ideal $\fb$, with $l=\grade(\fb,M)$, $\Hom_R(R/\fb,H_{\fb}…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring of prime characteristic $p$. In this paper we give a short proof using filter regular sequences that the set of associated prime ideals of $H^t_I(R)$ is finite for any ideal $I$ and for any $t \ge 0$ when $R$ has finite $F$-representation type or finite singular locus. This extends a previous result by Takagi-Takahashi and gives affirmative answers for a problem of Huneke in many new classes of rings in positive characteristic. We also give a criterion about the singularities of $R$ (in any characteristic) to guarantee that the set of associated primes …
It is shown that any set of nonzero monomial prime ideals can be realized as the stable set of associated prime ideals of a monomial ideal. Moreover, an algorithm is given to compute the stable set of associated prime ideals of a monomial ideal.
We prove that if the initial ideal of a prime ideal is Borel-fixed and the dimension of the quotient ring is less than or equal to two, then given any non-minimal associated prime ideal of the initial ideal it contains another associated prime ideal of dimension one larger.
Assume that $R = \bigoplus_{i\in \mathbb{N}_{0}} R_{i}$ is a homogeneous graded Noetherian ring, and that $M$ is a $ \mathbb{Z}$--graded $R$--module, where $ \mathbb{N}_{0}$ (resp. $ \mathbb{Z}$) denote the set all non--negative integers (resp. integers). The set of all homogeneous attached prime ideals of the top non--vanishing local cohomology module of a finitely generated module $M$, $\LH_{R_{+}}^{c}(M)$, with respect to the irrelevant ideal $R_{+}: =\bigoplus_{i\geq 1} R_{i}$ and the set of associated primes of $\LH _{R_{+}}^{i}(M)$ is studied. The asymptotic behavior of $\Hom_{R}(R/R_{+}…
It is shown that a squarefree principal Borel ideal satisfies the persistence property for the associated prime ideals. For the graded maximal ideal we compute the index of stability with respect to squarefree principal Borel ideals and determine their stable set of associated prime ideals.
In this article, we study the following question raised by Mel Hochster: let $(R,m,K)$ be a local ring and $S$ be a flat extension with regular closed fiber. Is $\cV(mS)\cap\Ass_S H^i_I(S)$ finite for every ideal $I\subset S$ and $i\in \NN?$ We prove that the answer is positive when $S$ is either a polynomial or a power series ring over $R$ and $\dim(R/I\cap R)\leq 1.$ In addition, we analyze when this question can be reduced to the case where $S$ is a power series ring over $R$. An important tool for our proof is the use of $Σ$-finite $D$-modules, which are not necessarily finitely generated …
In continuation of [1] we study associated primes of Matlis duals of local cohomology modules (MDLCM). We combine ideas from Helmut Zöschinger on coassociated primes of arbitrary modules with results from [1], [4], [5], [6] and obtain partial answers to questions which were left open in [1]. These partial answers give further support for conjecture $(*)$ from [1] on the set of associated primes of MDLCMs. In addition, and also inspired by ideas from Zöschinger, we prove some non-finiteness results of local cohomology.
It is known that the polyomino ideal of a simple polyomino is a prime ideal. A new class of nonsimple polyominoes $\Pc$ for which the polyomino ideal $I_{\Pc}$ is a prime ideal will be presented.
In this paper, we introduce a new generalization of weakly prime ideals called $I$-prime. Suppose $R$ is a commutative ring with identity and $I$ a fixed ideal of $R$. A proper ideal $P$ of $R$ is $I$-prime if for $a, b \in R$ with $ab \in P-IP$ implies either $a \in P$ or $b \in P$. We give some characterizations of $I$-prime ideals and study some of its properties. Moreover, we give conditions under which $I$-prime ideals becomes prime or weakly prime and we construct the view of $I$-prime ideal in decomposite rings.
Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ such that $\dim R/\fa=1$ and $M$ a finite $R$--module. We will study cofiniteness and some other properties of the local cohomology modules $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M)$. For an arbitrary ideal $\fa$ and an $R$--module $M$ (not necessarily finite), we will characterize $\fa$--cofinite artinian local cohomology modules. Certain sets of coassociated primes of top local cohomology modules over local rings are characterized.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring that is a smooth $\mathbb Z$-algebra. For each ideal $I$ of $R$ and integer $k$, we prove that the local cohomology module $H^k_I(R)$ has finitely many associated prime ideals. This settles a crucial outstanding case of a conjecture of Lyubeznik asserting this finiteness for local cohomology modules of all regular rings.
Let $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ be a commutative Noetherian local ring, $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module and $\mathfrak{a}$, $I$ and $J$ be ideals of $R$. We investigate the structure of formal local cohomology modules of $\mathfrak{F}^i_{\mathfrak{a},I,J}(M)$ and $\check{\mathfrak{F}}^i_{\mathfrak{a},I,J}(M)$ with respect to a pair of ideals, for all $i\geq 0$. The main subject of the paper is to study the finiteness properties and Artinianness of $\mathfrak{F}^i_{\mathfrak{a},I,J}(M)$ and $\check{\mathfrak{F}}^i_{\mathfrak{a},\mathfrak{m},J}(M)$. We study the maximum and minimum integer $i\in \…
Let $R = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{N}_{0}} R_{n}$ be a standard graded ring, $M$ be a finite graded $R$-module and $J$ be a homogenous ideal of $R$. In this paper we study the graded structure of the $i$-th local cohomology module of $M$ defined by a pair of ideals $(R_{+},J)$, i.e. $H^{i}_{R_{+},J}(M)$. More precisely, we discuss finiteness property and vanishing of the graded components $H^{i}_{R_{+},J}(M)_{n}$. Also, we study the Artinian property and tameness of certain submodules and quotient modules of $H^{i}_{R_{+},J}(M)$.
Let $I$ and $J$ be two ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring $R$ and $M$ be an $R$-module. For a non-negative integer $n$ it is shown that, if the sets $\Ass_R(\Ext^{n} _{R}(R/I,M))$ and $\Supp_R(\Ext^{i}_{R}(R/I,H^{j}_{I,J} (M)))$ are finite for all $i \leq n+1$ and all $j< n$, then so is \linebreak$\Ass_R(\Hom_{R}(R/I,H^{n}_{I,J}(M)))$. We also study the finiteness of $\Ass_R(\Ext^{i}_{R}(R/I,H^{n}_{I,J} (M)))$ for $i=1,2$.
Let $(R,m)$ be a local Noetherian ring, let $I\subset R$ be any ideal and let $M$ be a finitely generated $R$-module. In 1990 Craig Huneke conjectured that the local cohomology modules $H^i_I(M)$ have finitely many associated primes for all $i$. In this paper I settle this conjecture by constructing a local cohomology module of a local $k$-algebra with an infinite set of associated primes, and I do this for any field $k$.
Assume $R$ is a local Cohen-Macaulay ring. It is shown that $\Ass_R (H^l_I(R))$ is finite for any ideal $I$ and any integer $l$ provided $\Ass_R (H^2_{(x,y)}(R))$ is finite for any $x,y\in R$ and $\Ass_R (H^3_{(x_1,x_2,y)}(R))$ is finite for any $y\in R$ and any regular sequence $x_1,x_2\in R$. Furthermore it is shown that $\Ass_R (H^l_I(R))$ is always finite if $\dim (R)\leq 3$. The same statement is even true for $\dim (R)\leq 4$ if $R$ is almost factorial.
In this paper, the new concept of quasi-prime ideal is introduced which at the same time generalizes the `prime ideal' and `primary ideal' notions. Then a natural topology on the set of quasi-prime ideals of a ring is introduced which generalizes the Zariski topology. The basic properties of the quasi-prime spectrum are studied and several interesting results are obtained. Specially, it is proved that if the Grothendieck t-functor is applied on the quasi-prime spectrum then the prime spectrum is deduced. It is also shown that there are the cases that the prime spectrum and quasi-prime spectrum…
This paper examines the dimension of the graded local cohomology $H_\mathfrak{m}^p(S/K^s)_γ$ and $H_\mathfrak{m}^p(S/K^{(s)})$ for a monomial ideal $K$. This information is encoded in the reduced homology of a simplicial complex called the degree complex. We explicitly compute the degree complexes of ordinary and symbolic powers of sums and fiber products of ideals, as well as the degree complex of the mixed product, in terms of the degree complexes of their components. We then use homological techniques to discuss the cohomology of their quotient rings. In particular, this technique allows fo…
Let $R$ be a polynomial ring in finitely many variables over the integers, and fix an ideal $I$ of $R$. We prove that for all but finitely prime integers $p$, the Bockstein homomorphisms on local cohomology, $H^k_I(R/pR)\to H^{k+1}_I(R/pR)$, are zero. This provides strong evidence for Lyubeznik's conjecture which states that the modules $H^k_I(R)$ have a finite number of associated prime ideals.
We prove that if M is a finitely-generated module of dimension d with finite local cohomologies over a Noetherian local ring, and if the ith local cohomology module of M is zero unless i = d, i = 0, and i = r for some r strictly between 0 and d, then there is an integer l such that every parameter ideal for M contained in the lth power of the maximal ideal has the same index of reducibility on M. This theorem generalizes work of the second author (math.AC/0408143) and is closely related to work of S. Goto, H. Sakurai (math.AC/0306148), and N. Suzuki.
In this paper, we introduce the concepts of strongly 2-absorbing primary ideals (resp., submodules) and strongly 2-absorbing ideals (resp., submodules) as generalizations of strongly prime ideals. Furthermore, we investigate some basic properties of these classes of ideals.
