Bockstein homomorphisms in local cohomology

Commutative Algebra 2009-01-08 v2

Abstract

Let RR be a polynomial ring in finitely many variables over the integers, and fix an ideal II of RR. We prove that for all but finitely prime integers pp, the Bockstein homomorphisms on local cohomology, HIk(R/pR)HIk+1(R/pR)H^k_I(R/pR)\to H^{k+1}_I(R/pR), are zero. This provides strong evidence for Lyubeznik's conjecture which states that the modules HIk(R)H^k_I(R) have a finite number of associated prime ideals.
