Introduction
Throughout this paper,
is a commutative Noetherian ring with non-zero identity,
is an ideal of
,
is a finitely generated
-module, and
is an arbitrary
-module which is not necessarily finitely generated.
Let L be a finitely generated R-module. Grothendieck, in [11], conjectured that
is finitely generated for all
. In [12], Hartshorne gave a counter-example and raised the question whether
is finitely generated for all
and
. The
th generalized local cohomology module of
and
with respect to
,
was introduced by Herzog in [14]. It is clear that
is just the ordinary local cohomology module
of
with respect to
. As a generalization of Hartshorne's question, we have the following question for generalized local cohomology modules (see [25, Question 2.7]).
Question. When is
finitely generated for all
and
?
In this paper, we study
in general for a finitely generated
-module
and an arbitrary
-module
.
Material and methods
The main tool used in the proofs of the main results of this paper is the spectral sequences.
Results and discussion
We present some technical results (Lemma 2.1 and Theorems 2.2, 2.9, and 2.14) which show that, in certain situation, for non-negative integers
,
,
, and

and the
-modules
and
are in a Serre subcategory of the category of
-modules (i.e. the class of
-modules which is closed under taking submodules, quotients, and extensions).
Conclusion
We apply the main results of this paper to some Serre subcategories (e.g. the class of zero
-modules and the class of finitely generated
-modules) and deduce some properties of generalized local cohomology modules. In Corollaries 3.1-3.3, we present some upper bounds for the injective dimension and the Bass numbers of generalized local cohomology modules. We study cofiniteness and minimaxness of generalized local cohomology modules in Corollaries 3.4-3.8. Recall that, an
-module
is said to be
-cofinite (resp. minimax) if
and
is finitely generated for all
[12] (resp. there is a finitely generated submodule
of
such that
is Artinian [26]) where
. We show that if
is finitely generated for all
and
is minimax for all
, then
is
-cofinite for all
and
is finitely generated (Corollary 3.5). We prove that if
is finitely generated for all
, where
is the arithmetic rank of
, and
is
-cofinite for all
, then
is also an
-cofinite
-module (Corollary 3.6). We show that if
is local,
, and
is finitely generated for all
, then
is
-cofinite for all
if and only if
is finitely generated for all
(Corollary 3.7). We also prove that if
is local,
,
is finitely generated for all
, and
(or
) is
-cofinite for all
, then
is
-cofinite for all
(Corollary 3.8). In Corollary 3.9, we state the weakest possible conditions which yield the finiteness of associated prime ideals of generalized local cohomology modules. Note that, one can apply the main results of this paper to other Serre subcategories to deduce more properties of generalized local cohomology modules.
