Grothendieck local duality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In commutative algebra, Grothendieck local duality is a duality theorem for cohomology of modules over local rings, analogous to Serre duality of coherent sheaves.

Statement[]

Suppose that R is a Cohen–Macaulay local ring of dimension d with maximal ideal m and residue field k = R/m. Let E(k) be a Matlis module, an injective hull of k, and let Ω be the completion of its dualizing module. Then for any R-module M there is an isomorphism of modules over the completion of R:

where Hm is a local cohomology group.

There is a generalization to Noetherian local rings that are not Cohen–Macaulay, that replaces the dualizing module with a dualizing complex.
