Cohomological dimension filtration and annihilators of top local cohomology modules

Abstract: Let

f r a k a

denote an ideal in a commutative Noetherian ring

R

and

M

a finitely generated

R

-module. In this paper, we introduce the concept of the cohomological dimension filtration

m a t h s c r M = {M_{i}}_{i = 0}^{c}

, where

c = m c d (f r a k a, M)

and

M_{i}

denotes the largest submodule of

M

such that

m c d (f r a k a, M_{i}) l e q i .

Some properties of this filtration are investigated. In particular, in the case that

(R, f r a k m)

is local and

c = d i m M

, we are able to determine the annihilator of the top local cohomology module

H_{f r a k a}^{c} (M)

. In fact, it is shown that

{m A n n}_{R} (H_{f r a k a}^{c} (M)) = {m A n n}_{R} (M / M_{c - 1}) .

As a consequence, it follows that there exists an ideal

f r a k b

of

R

such that

{m A n n}_{R} (H_{f r a k a}^{c} (M)) = {m A n n}_{R} (M / H_{f r a k b}^{0} (M))

.
