We introduce an idea for generalization of a local cohomology module, which we call a local cohomology module with respect to a pair of ideals (I, J), and study their various properties. Some vanishing and nonvanishing theorems are given for this generalized version of local cohomology. We also discuss its connection with the ordinary local cohomology.

In this paper we study the local cohomology of all finitely generated bigraded modules over a standard bigraded polynomial ring which have only one nonvanishing local cohomology with respect to one of the irrelevant bigraded ideals.

We study a question raised by Eisenbud, Mustaţǎ, and Stillman regarding the injectivity of natural maps from Ext modules to local cohomology modules. We obtain some positive answers to this question which extend earlier results of Lyubeznik. In the process, we also prove a vanishing theorem for local cohomology modules which connects theorems previously known in the case of positive characteris...

For every prime integer p, M. Hochster conjectured the existence of certain p-torsion elements in a local cohomology module over a regular ring of mixed characteristic. We show that Hochster’s conjecture is false. We next construct an example where a local cohomology module over a hypersurface has p-torsion elements for every prime integer p, and consequently has infinitely many associated prim...
