Some properties of top graded local cohomology modules
This first part of the paper describes the support of top graded local cohomology modules. As a corrolary one obtains a simple criteria for the vanishing of these modules and also the fact that they have finitely many
minimal primes.
The second part of this paper constructs examples of cohomological Hilbert functions which are not of polynomial type
An Avoidance Principle with an Application to the Asymptotic Behaviour of Graded Local Cohomology
We present an Avoidance Principle for certain graded rings. As an application
we fill a gap in the proof of a result by Brodmann, Rohrer and Sazeedeh about
the antipolynomiality of the Hilbert-Samuel multiplicity of the graded
components of the local cohomology modules of a finitely generated module over
a Noetherian homogeneous ring with two-dimensional local base ring.Comment: 6 pages; to appear in Journal of Pure and Applied Algebra; corrected

Boundedness of Cohomology
Let and let \D^d denote the class of all pairs in which
is a Noetherian homogeneous ring with Artinian
base ring and such that is a finitely generated graded -module of
dimension .
The cohomology table of a pair (R,M) \in \D^d is defined as the family of
non-negative integers . We say that
a subclass of \D^d is of finite cohomology if the set \{d_M
\mid (R,M) \in \C\} is finite. A set is said to bound cohomology, if for each family
of non-negative integers, the class
\{(R,M) \in \D^d\mid d^i_M(n) \leq h^{(i,n)} {for all} (i,n) \in \mathbb{S}\}
is of finite cohomology. Our main result says that this is the case if and only
if contains a quasi diagonal, that is a set of the form
with integers . We draw a
number of conclusions of this boundedness criterion.Comment: 18 page
Arithmetic properties of projective varieties of almost minimal degree
We study the arithmetic properties of projective varieties of almost minimal
degree, that is of non-degenerate irreducible projective varieties whose degree
exceeds the codimension by precisely 2. We notably show, that such a variety is either arithmetically normal (and arithmetically
Gorenstein) or a projection of a variety of minimal degree from an appropriate point . We focus on the latter situation and study by means
of the projection .
If is not arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay, the homogeneous coordinate ring
of the projecting variety is the endomorphism ring of the
canonical module of the homogeneous coordinate ring of If
is non-normal and is maximally Del Pezzo, that is arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay
but not arithmetically normal is just the graded integral closure of
It turns out, that the geometry of the projection is
governed by the arithmetic depth of in any case.
We study in particular the case in which the projecting variety is a cone (over a) rational normal scroll. In this
case is contained in a variety of minimal degree
such that \codim_Y(X) = 1. We use this to approximate the Betti numbers of
.
In addition we present several examples to illustrate our results and we draw
some of the links to Fujita's classification of polarized varieties of -genus 1.Comment: corrected, revised version. J. Algebraic Geom., to appea
On varieties of almost minimal degree I: Secant loci of rational normal scrolls
To complete the classification theory and the structure theory of varieties
of almost minimal degree, that is of non-degenerate irreducible projective
varieties whose degree exceeds the codimension by precisely 2, a natural
approach is to investigate simple projections of varieties of minimal degree.
Let be a variety of minimal degree and
of codimension at least 2, and consider where . By
\cite{B-Sche}, it turns out that the cohomological and local properties of
are governed by the secant locus of with
respect to .
Along these lines, the present paper is devoted to give a geometric
description of the secant stratification of , that is of the
decomposition of via the types of secant loci. We show
that there are exactly six possibilities for the secant locus , and we precisely describe each stratum of the secant stratification of
, each of which turns out to be a quasi-projective variety.
As an application, we obtain the classification of all non-normal Del Pezzo
varieties by providing a complete list of pairs where is a variety of minimal degree, is a closed
point in and is a Del Pezzo variety.Comment: 20 page
Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of deficiency modules
Let and let be a finitely generated graded module of dimension
over a Noetherian homogeneous ring with local Artinian base ring
. Let \beg(M), \gendeg(M) and \reg(M) respectively denote the
beginning, the generating degree and the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of .
If and , let denote the -length of the
-th graded component of the -th -transform module of
and let denote the -th deficiency module of . Our main
result says, that \reg(K^i(M)) is bounded in terms of \beg(M) and the
"diagonal values" with . As an application of this
we get a number of further bounding results for \reg(K^i(M)).Comment: 25 pages, the previous version divided in two part
An example of an infinite set of associated primes of a local cohomology module
Let be a local Noetherian ring, let be any ideal and let be a finitely generated -module. In 1990 Craig Huneke conjectured that the local cohomology modules have finitely many associated primes for all . In this paper I settle this conjecture by constructing a local cohomology module of a local -algebra with an infinite set of associated primes, and I do this for any field
