In this work we describe the local cohomology of reflexive modules of rank one over normal semigroup rings with respect to monomial ideals. Using our description we show that the problem of classifying maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules of rank…

Let $R$ be a Noetherian ring, $I$ an ideal of $R$ and $M$ an $R$-module with $\operatorname{cd}(I,M)=c$. In this article, we first show that there exists a descending chain of ideals $I=I_c\supsetneq I_{c-1}\supsetneq \cdots \supsetneq I_0$…

Let $(R,\fm)$ be a local ring and $\fa$ be an ideal of $R$. The inequalities $$\begin{array}{ll} \ \Ht(\fa) \leq \cd(\fa,R) \leq \ara(\fa) \leq l(\fa) \leq \mu(\fa) \end{array}$$ are known. It is an interesting and long-standing problem to…

We prove that the arithmetic degree of a graded or local ring is bounded above by the arithmetic degree of any of its associated graded rings with respect to ideals $I$ in $A$. In particular, if $Spec (A)$ is equidimensional and has an…

We compute the arithmetic rank as well as the local/\'etale cohomological dimension of nullcone ideals arising from the classical actions of the symplectic group, the general linear group, and the orthogonal group. We use these calculations…

Let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of a local ring $(R, \mathfrak{m})$ with $c = \mathrm{cd}(\mathfrak{a},R)$ the cohomological dimension of $\mathfrak{a}$ in $R$. In the case that $c=\dim R$, we first give a bound for…

Let $M$ be a $(2 \times n)$ non-generic matrix of linear forms in a polynomial ring. For large classes of such matrices, we compute the cohomological dimension (cd) and the arithmetical rank (ara) of the ideal $I_2(M)$ generated by the…

We study the arithmetical ranks and the cohomological dimensions of an infinite class of Cohen-Macaulay varieties of minimal degree. Among these we find, on the one hand, infinitely many set-theoretic complete intersections, on the other…

This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…

Let $M$ be a finite module over a commutative noetherian ring $R$. For ideals $\fa$ and $\fb$ of $R$, the relations between cohomological dimensions of $M$ with respect to $\fa, \fb$, $\fa\cap\fb$ and $\fa+ \fb$ are studied. When $R$ is…

Let $A$ be a regular ring containing a field of characteristic zero and let $R = A[X_1,\ldots, X_m]$. Consider $R$ as standard graded with $deg \ A = 0$ and $deg \ X_i = 1$ for all $i$. In this paper we present a comprehensive study of…

In the first section of this paper we present generalizations of known results on the set of associated primes of Matlis duals of local cohomology modules; we prove these generalizations by using a new technique. In section 2 we compute the…

We characterize the class of ideals of a polynomial ring such that the hilbert series of their graded local cohomology modules is maximal.

The arithmetic rank of an ideal in a polynomial ring over an algebraically closed field is the smallest number of equations needed to define its vanishing locus set-theoretically. We determine the arithmetic rank of the generic $m$-residual…

Some affirmative answers are given to Huneke's problems. The calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to an arbitrary pair of ideals $I,J$ can be reduced to calculation of local cohomology modules with respect to a pair of…
