Let (R,m) be a local Noetherian ring, let I ⊂ R be any ideal and let M be a finitely generated R-module. It has been long conjectured that the local cohomology modules H I(M) have finitely many associated primes for all i (see Conjecture 5.1 in [H] and [L].) If R is not required to be local these sets of associated primes may be infinite, as shown by Anurag Singh in [S], where he constructed an...

Consider RO (G)-graded an cohomology theory k G. We shall not insist on a detailed definition; suffice it to say that there is a suspension isomorphism for each real representation of G. The first examples were real and complex equivariant K-theory KO and K G. The next example was equivariant stable , cohomotopy theory ~G" There are RO(G)-graded ordinary cohomology theories with coefficients in...
