Let $(S,\mathfrak{m})$ be an $n$-dimensional regular local ring essentially of finite type over a field and let $\mathfrak{a}$ be an ideal of $S$. We prove that if $\text{depth}\,S/\mathfrak{a}\geqslant 3$, then the cohomological dimension $\text{cd}(S,\mathfrak{a})$ of $\mathfrak{a}$ is less than or equal to $n-3$. This settles a conjecture of Varbaro for such an $S$. We also show, under the assumption that $S$ has an algebraically closed residue field of characteristic zero, that if $\text{depth}\,S/\mathfrak{a}\geqslant 4$, then $\text{cd}(S,\mathfrak{a})\leqslant n-4$ if and only if the local Picard group of the completion $\widehat{S/\mathfrak{a}}$ is torsion. We give a number of applications, including a vanishing result on Lyubeznik’s numbers, and sharp bounds on the cohomological dimension of ideals whose quotients satisfy good depth conditions such as Serre’s conditions $(S_{i})$.

AbstractIn this paper, we prove that for any ideal I of dimension one is I-cofinite for all i and for any finite A-module M. Furthermore, for any ideal I over any regular local ring A, we investigate the relationship between I-cofiniteness and vanishing for local cohomology modules .

AbstractThe generalized test ideals introduced in [HY] are related to multiplier ideals via reduction to characteristic p. In addition, they satisfy many of the subtle properties of the multiplier ideals, which in characteristic zero follow via vanishing theorems. In this note we give several examples to emphasize the different behavior of test ideals and multiplier ideals. Our main result is that every ideal in an F-finite regular local ring can be written as a generalized test ideal. We also prove the semicontinuity of F-pure thresholds (though the analogue of the Generic Restriction Theorem for multiplier ideals does not hold).

1. Introduction. The principle of the Conservation of Number is concerned with the following situation. One starts with a system of algebraic equations having only a finite number of solutions and then applies a homomorphism whose domain contains the coefficients of those equations. This produces a new system. Let us suppose that the new system of equations also has only a finite number of solutions. The question then arises as to how the number of solutions before specialization compares with the number present afterwards. In a typical geometrical situation, one usually wishes to assert that the two systems have equally many solutions. However, it is easy to construct algebraic situations where the number changes,† and where the change is not to be explained away through the confluence of solutions or by their slipping off to infinity. At first sight this represents a breakdown of the conservation principle, but this principle has proved so useful in the past that one has a natural reluctance to discard it. The alternative is to attempt a reformulation and in (l) the present author gave such a reformulation for the case in which the specialization consisted in mapping a regular local ring on to its residue field. The modified theory requires that we take account of systems of equations which arise in connexion with the homology modules of a certain complex. The system associated with the homology module of degree zero is found to be the same as the one that arises in the naive theory, and usually this is the only one that makes a contribution. However, in cases where the number of solutions appears to change, the other systems become active and act in such a way that the balance is restored. For an amplification of these remarks we must refer the reader to (l). They are made here to indicate how the relevance of homological concepts first became clear in any detail. In the present paper these ideas are taken further, the principal gain being that it is no longer necessary to restrict the type of specialization to that which consists in mapping a regular local ring on to its residue field. Indeed one can use very general specializations provided that one transfers the homological requirement from the ring to the system of equations under consideration. In this way, one obtains a theory which is more general and, in some of its aspects, simpler as well.

In this paper R is a commutative noetherian local ring with unit element 1 and M is its maximal ideal. Let K be the residue field R/M and let {t1,t2,…, tn) be a minimal system of generators for M. By a complex R<T1. . ., Tp> we mean an R-algebra* obtained by the adjunction of the variables T1. . ., Tp of degree 1 which kill t1,…, tp. The main purpose of this paper is, among other things, to construct an R-algebra resolution of the field K, so that we can investigate the relationship between the homology algebra H (R < T1,…, Tn>) and the homological invariants of R such as the algebra TorR(K, K) and the Betti numbers Bp = dimk TorR(K, K) of the local ring R. The relationship was initially studied by Serre [5].

Let [Formula: see text] be a regular local ring of dimension [Formula: see text]. A local monoidal transform of [Formula: see text] is a ring of the form [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is a regular parameter, [Formula: see text] is a regular prime ideal of [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] is a maximal ideal of [Formula: see text] lying over [Formula: see text] In this paper, we study some features of the rings [Formula: see text] obtained as infinite directed union of iterated local monoidal transforms of [Formula: see text]. In order to study when these rings are GCD domains, we also provide results in the more general setting of directed unions of GCD domains.
