Majid Eghbali On an endomorphism ring of local cohomology

Why local cohomolgy

Local cohomology was invented by Grothendieck in 1960s toprove some theorems in algebraic geometry. It has manyapplications in topology, geometry, combinatorics, andcomputational subjects.

DefinitionLet M be an R-module and a an ideal of R, then we define i-thlocal cohomology module as H i

a(M) = lim−→ExtiR(R/an, M).

To Control top local cohomology

Express Hda (M) via Hd

m(M).

Explanation

Put d := dim M. When Hda (M) 6= 0 one of the most important

views concerning this is to express Hda (M) via Hd

m(M). Moreprecisely the kernel of the natural epimorphismHdim Mm (M)→ Hdim M

a (M) has been calculated explicitly.

NoteFor an R-module M let 0 = ∩n

i=1Qi(M) denote a minimalprimary decomposition of the zero submodule of M. That isM/Qi(M), i = 1, ..., n, is a pi -primary R-module. ClearlyAssR M = {p1, ..., pn}.

Some Definitions

DefinitionLet a ⊂ R denote an ideal of R. We define two disjoint subsetsU, V of AssR M related to a

(a) U = {p ∈ AssR M|dim R/p = d and dim R/a + p = 0}.(b) V = {p ∈ AssR M|dim R/p < d or dim R/p =

d and dim R/a + p > 0}.Finally we define Qa(M) = ∩pi∈UQi(M). In the case U = ∅, putQa(M) = M.

DefinitionLet M denote a finitely generated module over the local ring(R,m). Let a ⊂ R denote an ideal. Then define Pa(M) as theintersection of all the primary components of AnnR M such thatdim R/p = dim M and dim R/a + p = 0. Clearly Pa(M) is thepre-image of QaR/ AnnR M(R/ AnnR M) in R.

Main Theorem

TheoremLet a denote an ideal of a local ring (R,m). Let M be a finitelygenerated R-module and d = dim M. Then there is a naturalisomorphism

Hda (M) ∼= Hd

mR̂(M̂/Q

aR̂(M̂)) ∼= HdmR̂

(M̂/Pa(M̂)M̂).

ProofUsing the short exact sequence

0→ Qa(M)→ M → M/Qa(M)→ 0

and applying local cohomology module to it we prove the claim.to this end note that AssR Qa(M) = V , AssR M/Qa(M) = U andU ∪ V = AssR M.

Homological Properties of HomR(Hda (R), ER(R/m))

NotationFor an ideal a ⊂ R with dim R/a = d we will denote by ad theintersection of those primary components in a minimal reducedprimary decomposition of a which are of dimension d .

Notation and DefinitionFor a local ring (R,m) which is a factor ring of a Gorenstein ring(S, n) with r = dim S. Then there are functorial isomorphisms

Hdm(M) ∼= HomR(Extr−d

S (M, S), E(R/m)), d := dim M,

where M is a finitely generated R-module. The moduleKM = Extr−d

S (M, S) is called the canonical module of M.

TheoremLet a be an ideal of a complete local ring (R,m). For an integerr ≥ 2 we have the following statements:(1) Suppose R/Qa(R) has S2. Then Ta(R) satisfies the

condition Sr if and only if H im(R/Qa(R)) = 0 for

d − r + 2 ≤ i < d .

(2) R/Qa(R) satisfies the condition Sr if and only ifH im(Ta(R)) = 0 for d − r + 2 ≤ i < d and

R/Qa(R) ∼= HomR(Hda (R), Hd

a (R)).

In particular, if R/Qa(R) has S2 it is a Cohen-Macaulay ring ifand only if the module Ta(R) is Cohen-Macaulay.

Some connectedness results

HartshorneLet (R,m) denote a local ring such that depth R ≥ 2. ThenSpec R \ {m} is connected in Zariski topology.

Example

Let R := k [x , y , u, v ]/((x , y) ∩ (u, v)). Then R is a twodimensional ring such that Spec R \ {m} is disconnected. ThenR can not be Cohen-Macaulay ring.
