Bass <strong>numbers</strong> <strong>of</strong> Local<br />
Cohomology <strong>modules</strong><br />
In this chapter we study the Bass <strong>numbers</strong>, the dual notion <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Betti</strong> <strong>numbers</strong>,<br />
<strong>of</strong> local cohomology <strong>modules</strong>. In fact it is an important problem in local cohomology<br />
to determine when the set <strong>of</strong> associated primes <strong>of</strong> such <strong>modules</strong> is finite, and so when<br />
the Bass <strong>numbers</strong> <strong>of</strong> them is finite. Here we are interested in the following contexts:<br />
• Finiteness <strong>of</strong> the support (and associated primes) <strong>of</strong> local cohomology <strong>modules</strong><br />
• Artinian local cohomology <strong>modules</strong><br />
Let R be a commutative <strong>Noetherian</strong> ring, a an ideal <strong>of</strong> R and M a finitely gener-<br />
ated R-module. Let t be a non-negative integer. We proved that<br />
• If H i a(M) has finite support for all i < t, then Ass (H t a(M)) is finite.<br />
• If H i a(M) is Artinian for all i < t, then HomR(R/a, H t a(M)) need not be Artinian<br />
but it has a finitely generated submodule N such that HomR(R/a, H t a(M))/N<br />
is Artinian.<br />
For the second issue note that it is already known that if the local cohomology<br />
