On an endomorphism ring of local cohomology

Abstract: Let

I

be an ideal of a local ring

(R, m a t h f r a k m)

with

d = d i m R .

For the local cohomology module

H_{I}^{i} (R)

it is a well-known fact that it vanishes for

i > d

and is an Artinian

R

-module for

i = d .

In the case that the Hartshorne-Lichtenbaum Vanishing Theorem fails, that is

H_{I}^{d} (R) o t = 0,

we explore its fine structure. In particular, we investigate its endomorphism ring and related connectedness properties. In the case

R

is complete we prove - as a technical tool - that

H_{I}^{d} (R) s i m e q H_{m a t h f r a k m}^{d} (R / J)

for a certain ideal

J s u b s e t R .

Thus, properties of

H_{I}^{d} (R)

and its Matlis dual might be described in terms of the local cohomology supported in the maximal ideal.
