Co-localization, co-support and local homology (Q2477915): Difference between revisions

The idea in this paper is to dualize some objects which occur in the theory of local cohomology modules. Local cohomology functors are derived from torsion functors in a formal way; torsion functors are related to the support and the support of a module can be described using localization functors. The preceding sentence has the following Matlis dual version: Local homology functors are derived from completion functors in a formal way; completion functors should be related to a ``co-support'' and the ``co-support'' of a module should be described using ``co-localization'' functors. In this paper such ``co''-notions are defined in such a way that the author can prove (among other results) a vanishing theorem for local homology which is essentially dual to a well-known vanishing theorem for local cohomology: If \(I\) is an ideal of a noetherian ring \(A\) and \(M\) is an \(A\)-module which is noetherian or artinian then \(H^I_j(A)=0\) for all \(j\) greater than the dimension of the cu-support of \(M\). It is also shown that co-localization and co-support behave nicely in the sense that they have properties dual to localization and support, resp.
