Abstract

Let R=iN0RnR=\oplus_{i\in \N_0}R_n be a standard graded ring, R+:=iNRnR_+ :=\oplus_{i\in \N}R_n be the irrelevant ideal of RR and \fa0\fa_0 be an ideal of R0R_0. In this paper, as a generalization of the concept of Castelnouvo-Mumford regularity \reg(M)\reg(M) of a finitely generated graded RR-module MM, we define the regularity of MM with respect to \fa0+R+\fa_0+ R_+, say \reg\fa0+R+(M)\reg_{\fa_0+ R_+}(M). And we study some relations of this new invariant with the classic one. To this end, we need to consider the cohomological dimension of some finitely generated R0R_0-modules. Also, we will express \reg\fa0+R+(M)\reg_{\fa_0+ R_+}(M) in terms of some invariants of the minimal graded free resolution of MM and see that in a special case this invariant is independent of the choice of \fa0\fa_0.
