On the finiteness and stability of certain sets of associated primes ideals of local cohomology modules

Let $(R,\frak{m})$ be a Noetherian local ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $N$ a finitely generated $R$-module. Let $k{\ge}-1$ be an integer and r=\depth_k(I,N) the length of a maximal $N$-sequence in dimension $>k$ in $I$ defined by M. Brodmann and L. T. Nhan ({Comm. Algebra, 36 (2008), 1527-1536). For a subset S\subseteq \Spec R we set S_{{\ge}k}={\p\in S\mid\dim(R/\p){\ge}k}. We first prove in this paper that \Ass_R(H^j_I(N))_{\ge k} is a finite set for all $j{\le}r$}. Let \fN=\oplus_{n\ge 0}N_n be a finitely generated graded \fR-module, where \fR is a finitely generated standard graded algebra over $R_0=R$. Let $r$ be the eventual value of \depth_k(I,N_n). Then our second result says that for all $l{\le}r$ the sets \bigcup_{j{\le}l}\Ass_R(H^j_I(N_n))_{{\ge}k} are stable for large $n$.Comment: To appear in Communication in Algebr

Cosmological Constant and Gravitational Repulsion Effect: 1. Homogeneous models with radiation

Within the framework of the minimum quadratic Poincare gauge theory of gravity in the Riemann-Cartan spacetime we study the influence of gravitational vacuum energy density (a cosmological constant) on the dynamics of various gravitating systems. It is shown that the inclusion of the cosmological term can lead to gravitational repulsion. For some simple cases of spatially homogeneous cosmological models with radiation we obtain non-singular solutions in form of elementary functions and elliptic integrals.Comment: REVTEX, 11 pages, Syracuse University preprint SU-GP-93/5-
