Inspired by a question raised by Eisenbud-Mustaţă-Stillman regarding the injectivity of maps from ${\rm Ext}$ modules to local cohomology modules and the work by the third author with Pham, we introduce a class of rings which we call cohomologically full rings. This class of rings include many well-known singularities: Cohen-Macaulay rings, Stanley-Reisner rings, F-pure rings in positive characteristics, Du Bois singularities in characteristics $0$. We prove many basic properties of cohomologically full rings, including their behavior under flat base change. We show that ideals defining these rings satisfy many desirable properties, in particular they have small cohomological and projective dimension. When $R$ is a standard graded algebra over a field of characteristic $0$, we show under certain conditions that being cohomologically full is equivalent to the intermediate local cohomology modules being generated in degree $0$. Furthermore, we obtain Kodaira-type vanishing and strong bounds on the regularity of cohomologically full graded algebras.
It is a well-known result that, in projective space over a field, every set-theoretical complete intersection of positive dimension in connected in codimension one (Hartshorne [H1,3.4.6] or [H2, Theorem 1.3]). Another important connectedness result is that a local ring with disconnected punctured sprectrum has depth at most $1$ ([H1, Proposition 2.1]). The two results are related, Hartshorne calls the latter "the keystone to the proof" of the former (loc. cit). In this short note we show that the latter result generalizes smoothly from set-theoretical to cohomologically complete intersections,…
Let $K$ be a Gorenstein noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension, and consider the category of cohomologically noetherian commutative differential graded rings $A$ over $K$, such that $H^0(A)$ is essentially of finite type over $K$, and $A$ has finite flat dimension over $K$. We extend Grothendieck's twisted inverse image pseudofunctor to this category by generalizing the theory of rigid dualizing complexes to this setup. We prove functoriality results with respect to cohomologically finite and cohomologically essentially smooth maps, and prove a perfect base change result for $f^{!}$ in this…
In this note ($R, m$) denotes a complete regular local ring and $B$ mostly denotes its absolute integral closure. The four objectives of this paper are the following: i) to determine the highest non-vanishing local cohomology of $Ω_{B/R}$ in equicharacteristic $0$, ii) to establish a connection between each of $Ω_{B/R}$ and $Ω_{B/V}$ and pull-back of $Ω_{A/V}$ via a short exact sequence together with new observations on corresponding local cohomologies in mixed characteristic where $V$ is the coefficient ring of $R$ and $A$ is its absolute integral closure, iii) to demonstrate that $Ω_{B/R}$ c…
We consider commutative DG rings (better known as nonpositive strongly commutative associative unital DG algebras). For such a DG ring $A$ we define the notions of perfect, tilting, dualizing, Cohen-Macaulay and rigid DG $A$-modules. Geometrically perfect DG modules are defined by a local condition on $\operatorname{Spec} \bar{A}$, where $\bar{A} := \operatorname{Spec} \, \operatorname{H}^0(A)$. Algebraically perfect DG modules are those that can be obtained from $A$ by finitely many shifts, direct summands and cones. Tilting DG modules are those that have inverses w.r.t. the derived tensor pr…
We show that the cosupport of a commutative noetherian ring is precisely the set of primes appearing in a minimal pure-injective resolution of the ring. As an application of this, we prove that every countable commutative noetherian ring has full cosupport. We also settle the comparison of cosupport and support of finitely generated modules over any commutative noetherian ring of finite Krull dimension. Finally, we give an example showing that the cosupport of a finitely generated module need not be a closed subset of $\operatorname{Spec}(R)$, providing a negative answer to a question of Sathe…
Let $R$ be a finitely generated positively graded algebra over a Noetherian local ring $B$, and $\mathfrak{m} = [R]_+$ be the graded irrelevant ideal of $R$. We provide a local criterion characterizing the $B$-freeness of all the local cohomology modules $\text{H}_\mathfrak{m}^i(M)$ of a finitely generated graded $R$-module $M$. We show that fiber-full modules are exactly the ones that satisfy this criterion. When we change $B$ by an arbitrary Noetherian ring $A$, we study the fiber-full locus of a module in $\text{Spec}(A)$: we show that the fiber-full locus is always an open subset of $\text…
