Abstract:

The term "finitely graded" is introduced here to refer to graded modules which are nonzero in only finitely many graded pieces. We consider the question of when the local cohomology modules of a graded module are finitely graded. Using a theorem of Faltings concerning the annihilation of local cohomology, we obtain some partial answers to this question. These results are then used to compare the depths of the Rees algebra and the associated graded ring of an ideal in a local ring.
