We investigate Matlis duals of local cohomology modules and prove that, in general, their zeroth Bass number with respect to the zero ideal is not finite. We also prove that, somewhat surprisingly, if we apply local cohomology again (i. e. to the Matlis dual of the local cohomology module), we get (under certain hypotheses) either zero or $E$, an $R$-injective hull of the residue field of the local ring $R$.
In this paper we present a condition on a local Cohen-Macaulay F-injective ring of positive characteristic $p > 2$ which implies that its top local cohomology module with support in the maximal ideal has finitely many Frobenius compatible submodules.
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.
Let (R,m) be a complete local ring, a an ideal of R and M a finitely generated R-module. The aim of this paper is to show that for any non-negative integer n, the least integer i such that the i-th local cohomology with respect to a is not in dimension <n, is equal to the n-th finiteness dimension of M relative to a. This generalizes the main result of Quy and Brodmann-Lashgari.
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.
Cofiniteness of the generalized local cohomology modules Hai(M, N) of two R-modules M and N with respect to an ideal a is studied for some i,s with a specified property. Furthermore, Artinianness of Hbj 0(Hai(M, N)) is investigated by using the above result, in certain graded situations, where b 0 is an ideal of R 0 such that b 0 + a 0 is an m 0-primary ideal.
In this paper, we show that for an $F$-pure local ring $(R,\m)$, all local cohomology modules $H_{\m}^i(R)$ have finitely many Frobenius compatible submodules. This answers positively an open question raised by F.Enescu and M.Hochster. We also prove that if $(R,\m)$ is excellent and is $F$-pure on the punctured spectrum, then all local cohomology modules have finite length in the category of $R$-modules with Frobenius action. Finally, we show that the property that all $H_{\m}^(R)$ have finitely many Frobenius compatible submodules passes to localizations.
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 $(R, \frak m)$ denote a local Cohen-Macaulay ring and $I$ a non-nilpotent ideal of $R$. The purpose of this article is to investigate Faltings' finiteness dimension $f_I(R)$ and equidimensionalness of certain homomorphic image of $R$. As a consequence we deduce that $f_I(R)={\rm max}\{1, {\rm ht}\ I\}$ and if ${\frak m}\mathrm{Ass}_R(R/I)$ is cotained in Ass$_R(R)$, then the ring $R/ I+\cup_{n\geq 1}(0:_RI^n)$ is equidimensional of dimension $\dim R-1$. Moreover, we will obtain a lower bound for injective dimension of the local cohomology module $H^{{\rm ht}\ I}_I(R)$, in the case $(R, \fr…
Let $R$ denote a commutative Noetherian ring. Brodmann et al. defined and studied the concept of the local-global principle for annihilation of local cohomology modules at level $r\in\mathbb{N}$ for the ideals $\frak a$ and $\frak b$ of $R$. It was shown that this principle holds at levels 1,2, over $R$ and at all levels whenever $\dim R\leq 4$. The goal of this paper is to show that, if the set $\Ass_R(H_{\fa}^{f_{\fa}^{\fb}(M)}(M))$ is finite or $f_{\fa}(M)\neq c_{\fa}^{\fb}(M)$, then the local-global principle holds at all levels $r\in\mathbb{N}_0$, for all ideals $\fa, \fb$ of $R$ and each…
Let $\fa$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R,\fm)$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. We investigate the structure of the formal local cohomology modules ${\vpl}_nH^i_{\fm}(M/\fa^n M)$, $i\geq 0$. We prove several results concerning finiteness properties of formal local cohomology modules which indicate that these modules behave very similar to local cohomology modules. Among other things, we prove that if $\dim R\leq 2$ or either $\fa$ is principal or $\dim R/\fa\leq 1$, then $\Tor_j^R(R/\fa,{\vpl}_nH^i_{\fm}(M/\fa^n M))$ is Artinian for all $i$ and $j$. Also, we examine the notion $\fgrad…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity and $\fa$ an ideal of $R$. Let $M$ be a finite $R$--module of of finite projective dimension and $N$ an arbitrary finite $R$--module. We characterize the membership of the generalized local cohomology modules $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ in certain Serre subcategories of the category of modules from upper bounds. We define and study the properties of a generalization of cohomological dimension of generalized local cohomology modules. Let $\mathcal S$ be a Serre subcategory of the category of $R$--modules and $n \geqslant \pd M$ be an inte…
Let $(R,\m,k)$ be a commutative noetherian local ring of Krull dimension $d$. We prove that the cohomology annihilator $\ca(R)$ of $R$ is $\m$-primary if and only if for some $n\ge0$ the $n$-th syzygies in $\mod R$ are constructed from syzygies of $k$ by taking direct sums/summands and a fixed number of extensions. These conditions yield that $R$ is an isolated singularity such that the bounded derived category $\db(R)$ and the singularity category $\ds(R)$ have finite dimension, and the converse holds when $R$ is Gorenstein. We also show that the modules locally free on the punctured spectrum…
Let $R = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{N}_0} R_n$ be a Noetherian homogeneous ring with local base ring $(R_0, \mathfrak{m}_0)$ and let $M$ and $N$ be finitely generated graded $R$-modules. Let $i,j\in\mathbb{N}_0$. In this paper we will study Artinianess of $Γ_{\mathfrak m_0R}(H_{R_+}^i(M,N)), H_{\mathfrak m_0R}^1(H_{R_+}^i(M,N)), H_{R_+}^i(M,N)/{\mathfrak m_0}H_{R_+}^i(M,N), H_{R_+}^j(M,H_{\mathfrak m_0R}^i(N)), H_{\mathfrak m_0R}^j(M,H_{R_+}^i(N))$, where $R_+$ denotes the irrelevant ideal of $R$.
In this article, we study the behaviour of smooth algebra $R$ over local Noetherian local ring $A$. At first, we observe that for every $f\in R$, $R_f$ has finite length in the category of $D(R,A)$-module if dimension of $A$ is zero. This extends the result of Theorem 2 of \cite{Ly3}. We use this fact to generalize the result of Theorem 4.1 of \cite{BBLSZ}, from the finiteness of the set of associated primes of local cohomology module to that of Lyubeznik functor. Finally, we introduce the definition of $Σ$-finite $D$-modulue for smooth algebra and we extend the result of Theorem 1.3 of \cite{…
Let $\frak a$ denote an ideal in a regular local (Noetherian) ring $R$ and let $N$ be a finitely generated $R$-module with support in $V(\frak a)$. The purpose of this paper is to show that all homomorphic images of the $R$-modules $\Ext^j_R(N, H^i_{\frak a}(R))$ have only finitely many associated primes, for all $i, j\geq 0$, whenever $\dim R \leq4$ or $\dim R/ \frak a \leq 3$ and $R$ contains a field. In addition, we show that if $\dim R=5$ and $R$ contains a field, then the $R$-modules $\Ext^j_R(N, H^i_{\frak a}(R))$ have only finitely many associated primes, for all $i, j\geq 0$.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity, $\mathfrak{a}$ and ideal of $R$, $M$ a finite $R$--module, and $n$ a non-negative integer. In this paper, for an arbitrary $R$--module $X$ which is not necessarily finite, we study the finiteness dimension $f_\mathfrak{a}(M,X)$ and the $n$-th finiteness dimension $f^n_\mathfrak{a}(M,X)$ of $M$ and $X$ with respect to $\mathfrak{a}$. Assume that $\operatorname{Ext}^{i}_{R}(R/\mathfrak{a},X)$ is finite for all $i\leq f^2_\mathfrak{a}(M,X)$ (resp. $i< f^1_\mathfrak{a}(M,X)$). We show that $\operatorname{H}^{i}_{\mathfrak{a}}(M,X)$ i…
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$--module. Let $t$ be a non-negative integer such that $\H^i_\fa(M)$ is $\fa$--cofinite for all $i<t$. It is well--known that $\Hom_R(R/\fa,\H^t_\fa(M))$ is finitely generated $R$--module. In this paper we study the finiteness of $\Ext^1_R(R/\fa,\H^t_\fa(M))$ and $\Ext^2_R(R/\fa,\H^t_\fa(M))$.
Let $R$ be a commutative $F$-algebra, where $F$ is a field of characteristic 0, satisfying the following conditions: $R$ is equidimensional of dimension $n$, every residual field with respect to a maximal ideal is an algebraic extension of $F,$ and $\Der_F (R)$ is a finitely generated projective $R$-module of rank $n$ such that $R_m\otimes_R \Der_F (R)=\Der_F(R_m)$. We show that the associated graded ring of the ring of differentiable operators, $D(R,F)$, is a commutative Noetherian regular with unity and pure graded dimension equal to $2\dim(R)$. Moreover, we prove that $D(R,F)$ has weak glob…
Let $R$ denote a commutative Noetherian (not necessarily local) ring, $\frak a$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. The purpose of this paper is to show that $f^n_{\frak a}(M)=\inf \{0\leq i\in\mathbb{Z}|\, \dim H^{i}_{\frak a}(M)/N \geq n\, \, \text{for any finitely generated submodule}\,\, N \subseteq H^{i}_{\frak a}(M)\}$, where $n$ is a non-negative integer and the invariant $f^n_{\frak a}(M):=\inf\{f_{\frak a R_{\frak p}}(M_{\frak p})\,\,|\,\,{\frak p}\in \Supp M/\frak a M\,\,{\rm and}\,\,\dim R/{\frak p}\geq n\}$ is the $n$-th finiteness dimension of $M$ relative to …
Let $(R,\fr m)$ be a Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M, N$ two finitely generated $R$-modules. The first result of this paper is to prove a vanishing theorem for generalized local cohomology modules which says that $H^j_I(M,N)=0$ for all $j>\dim(R)$, provided $M$ is of finite projective dimension. Next, we study and give characterizations for the least and the last integer $r$ such that $\Supp(H^r_I(M,N))$ is infinite.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring and $\fa$ an ideal of $R$. We intend to establish the dual of two Faltings' Theorems for local homology modules of an Artinian module. As a consequence of this, we show that, if $A$ is an Artinian module over semi-local complete ring $R$ and $j$ is an integer such that $H_i^{\fa}(A)$ is Artinian for all $i<j$, then the set $\Coass_R(H_j^{\fa}(A))$ is finite. We also introduce the notion of the $n$th Artinianness dimension $g_n^\fa(A)=\inf\{g^{\fa R_{\fp}}(^\fp A): \fp\in\Spec(R) \ \ \text{and} \ \ \dim R/\fp\geq n\}$, for all $n\in\mathbb{N}_{0}$ and pr…
Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, and $M$ an $R$--module. We prove that for a finite module $M$, if $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is minimax for all $i\geq r\geq 1$, then $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is artinian for $i\geq r$. A Local-global Principle for minimax local cohomology modules is shown. If $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is coatomic for $i\leq r$ ($M$ finite) then $\LC^{i}_{\fa}(M)$ is finite for $i\leq r$. We give conditions for a module, which is locally minimax to be a minimax module. A non-vanishing theorem and some vanishing theorems are proved for local cohomology modules.
Through a study of torsion functors of local cohomology modules we improve some non-finiteness results on the top non-zero local cohomology modules with respect to an ideal.
In this paper, we continue the study of cominimaxness modules with respect to an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring (cf. \cite{ANV}), and Bass numbers of local cohomology modules. Let $R$ denote a commutative Noetherian local ring and $I$ an ideal of $R$. We first show that the Bass numbers $μ^0(\frak p, H^2_I(R))$ and $μ^1(\frak p, H^2_I(R))$ are finite for all $\frak p\in \Spec R$, whenever $R$ is regular. As a consequence, it follows that the Goldie dimension of $H^2_I(R)$ is finite. Also, for a finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of dimension $d$, it is shown that the Bass numbers of $H^…
Let $(R,\frak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $N$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $k{\ge}-1$ be an integer and $ r=\depth_k(I,N)$ the length of a maximal $N$-sequence in dimension $>k$ in $I$ defined by M. Brodmann and L. T. Nhan ({Comm. Algebra, 36 (2008), 1527-1536). For a subset $S\subseteq \Spec R$ we set $S_{{\ge}k}={\p\in S\mid\dim(R/\p){\ge}k}$. We first prove in this paper that $\Ass_R(H^j_I(N))_{\ge k}$ is a finite set for all $j{\le}r$}. Let $\fN=\oplus_{n\ge 0}N_n$ be a finitely generated graded $\fR$-module, where $\fR$ is a finitely generated standard…
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.
We study the behaviour of the finiteness of the set of associated primes of local cohomology modules, more generally of Lyubeznik functors, under various ring extensions. At first, we review the results for flat and faithfully flat extensions and we present new applications of them. Then, we focus how the finiteness property of the set of associated primes of local cohomology modules and Lyubeznik functors is transferred from extended ring to the base ring of pure and cyclically pure ring extensions. We show that finiteness property can be transferred from a ring to its pure local subring and …
Let $R$ be a commutative noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$ and $M,N$ finite $R$--modules. We prove that the following statements are equivalent. \begin{enumerate} \item[(i)] $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ is finite for all $i< n$. \item[(ii)] $\Coass_R(\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)) \subset \V{(\fa)}$ for all $i< n$. \item[(iii)] $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ is coatomic for all $i< n$. \end{enumerate} If $\pd M$ is finite and $r$ be a non-negative integer such that $r>\pd M$ and $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ is finite (resp. minimax) for all $i\geq r$, then $\lc^{i}_{\fa}(M,N)$ is zero (resp. artinian) for all $i\geq r$.
In this paper, we prove several results on the finiteness of local cohomology of polynomial and formal power series rings. In particular, we give a partial affirmative answer for a question of L. Núñez-Betancourt in [J. Algebra 399 (2014), 770--781].
Let \fa be an ideal of a commutative Noetherian ring R and M a finitely generated R-module. We explore the behavior of the two notions f_{\fa}(M), the finiteness dimension of M with respect to \fa, and, its dual notion q_{\fa}(M), the Artinianess dimension of M with respect to \fa. When (R,\fm) is local and r:=f_{\fa}(M) is less than f_{\fa}^{\fm}(M), the \fm-finiteness dimension of M relative to \fa, we prove that H^r_{\fa}(M) is not Artinian, and so the filter depth of \fa on M doesn't exceeds f_{\fa}(M). Also, we show that if M has finite dimension and H^i_{\fa}(M) is Artinian for all i>t, …
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.
In this paper, considering the difference between the finiteness dimension and cohomological dimension for a finitely generated module, we investigate the asymptotic behavior of grades of components of graded local cohomology modules with respect to irrelevant ideal; as long as we study some artinian and tameness property of such modules.
We prove a versions of amplitude inequalities of Iversen, Foxby and Iyengar, and Frankild and Sather-Wagstaff that replace finite generation conditions with adic finiteness conditions. As an application, we prove that a local ring $R$ of prime characteristic is regular if and only if for some proper ideal $\mathfrak b$ the derived local cohomology complex $\mathbf{R}Γ_{\mathfrak{b}}(R)$ has finite flat dimension when viewed through some positive power of the Frobenius endomorphism.
We use a result of Hellus about generalized local duality to describe some generalized Matlis duals for certain quasi-\F-modules. Furthermore, we apply this description to obtain examples for non-artinian local cohomology modules by the theory of \F-modules. In particular, we get a new view on Hartshorne's counterexample for a conjecture by Grothendieck about the finiteness of $Hom_R(R/I,H^i_I(R))$ for a noetherian local Ring $R$ and an ideal $I \subseteq R$.
Let $\fa$ be an ideal of a Noetherian local ring $(R,\fm)$ and $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module. In this paper we introduce some criterions on Artinianness of formal local cohomology, in particular vanishing and finiteness of local cohomology modules. We find out the lower and upper bound for Artinianness of formal local cohomology
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 $R = \bigoplus_{n \in \mathbb{N}_{0}} R_{n}$ 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 $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $M$ a finitely generated $R$-module and $n$ be a non-negative integer. In this article, it is shown that there is a finitely generated submodule $N_i$ of $H_{\frak a}^i(M)$ such that $\dim{\rm Supp } H_{\frak a}^i(M)/N_i<n$ for all $i<t$ if and only if there is a finitely generated submodule $N_{i,{\frak p}}$ of $H_{{\frak a} R_{\frak p}}^i(M_{\frak p})$ such that $\dim{\rm Supp } H_{{\frak a} R_{\frak p}}^i(M_{\frak p})/N_{i,{\frak p}}<n$ for all $i<t$. This generalizes Faltings' Local-global Principle for the finiteness of local cohomology modules (F…
The Frobenius test exponent $\operatorname{Fte}(R)$ of a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$ of prime characteristic $p > 0$ is the smallest $e_0 \in \mathbb{N}$ such that for every ideal $\mathfrak{q}$ generated by a (full) system of parameters, the Frobenius closure $\mathfrak{q}^F$ has $(\mathfrak{q}^F)^{[p^{e_0}]} = \mathfrak{q}^{[p^{e_0}]}$. We establish a suffcient condition for $\operatorname{Fte}(R)<\infty$ and use it to show that if $R$ is such that the Frobenius closure of the zero submodule in the lower local cohomology modules has finite colength, i.e. $H^j_{\mathfrak{m}}(R) / 0^F_{H^j_{…
Let $A$ be a ring and $R$ be a polynomial or a power series ring over $A$. When $A$ has dimension zero, we show that the Bass numbers and the associated primes of the local cohomology modules over $R$ are finite. Moreover, if $A$ has dimension one and $π$ is an nonzero divisor, then the same properties hold for prime ideals that contain $π.$ These results do not require that $A$ contains a field. As a consequence, we give a different proof for the finiteness properties of local cohomology over unramified regular local rings. In addition, we extend previous results on the injective dimension of…
Matlis duals of local cohomology modules are investigated with respect to many different topics (see section 0 - Introduction). One of these topics are complete intersections - see Corollary 1.1.4.
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.
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.
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 $J$ 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.
We study rings which have Noetherian cohomology under the action of a ring of cohomology operators. The main result is a criterion for a complex of modules over such a ring to have finite injective dimension. This criterion generalizes, by removing finiteness conditions, and unifies several previous results. In particular we show that for a module over a ring with Noetherian cohomology, if all higher self-extensions of the module vanish then it must have finite injective dimension. Examples of rings with Noetherian cohomology include commutative complete intersection rings and finite dimension…
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.
Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ a finite $R$--module and $X$ an arbitrary $R$--module. Here, we show that, in the Serre subcategories of the category of $R$--modules, how the generalized local cohomology modules, the ordinary local cohomology modules and the extension modules behave similarly at the initial points. We conclude some Artinianness and cofiniteness results for $\lc^{n}_{\fa}(M, X)$, and some finiteness results for $\Supp_R(\lc^{n}_{\fa}(M, X))$ and $\Ass_R(\lc^{n}_{\fa}(M, X))$.
Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ an $R$--module and $n$ a non-negative integer. In this paper we first will study the finiteness properties of the kernel and the cokernel of the natural map $f:\Ext^n_{R}(R/\fa,M)\lo \Hom_{R}(R/\fa,\lc^{n}_{\fa}(M))$. Then we will get some corollaries about the associated primes and artinianness of local cohomology modules. Finally we will study the asymptotic behaviour of the kernel and the cokernel of this natural map in the graded case.
We prove a duality theorem for graded algebras over a field that implies several known duality results : graded local duality, versions of Serre duality for local cohomology and of Suzuki duality for generalized local cohomology, and Herzog-Rahimi bigraded duality.
Given a module M over a ring R which has a grading by a semigroup Q, we present a spectral sequence that computes the local cohomology of M at any Q-graded ideal I in terms of Ext modules. This method is used to obtain finiteness results for the local cohomology of graded modules over semigroup rings; in particular we prove that for a semigroup Q whose saturation is simplicial, the Bass numbers of such local cohomology modules are finite. Conversely, if the saturation of Q is not simplicial, one can find a graded ideal I and a graded R-module M whose local cohomology at I in some degree has an…
