Bounds for regularity and coregularity of graded modules (Q2468399)

For a finite module \(M\) over a standard graded ring \(R\) with local base ring \(R_0\), to the local cohomology modules of \(M\) with support in the irrelevant ideal of \(R\) there are associated numerical invariants \(\mathrm{reg}^k(M)\) for natural numbers \(k\) (for \(k=0\) this gives the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of \(M\)). Brodmann, Matteotti and Minh established upper bounds for \(\mathrm{reg}^k(M)\) in case \(R_0\) is Artinian. In this paper related bounds are proven for the case \(\dim(R_0)=1\). Similar remarks apply to lower bounds of \(\mathrm{coreg}^k(M)\). Finally, sharper bounds are proven in situations where \(R_0\) has nice properties (e.~g. if it is regular).
