%0 Journal Article %T Local cohomology: Associated primes, artinianness and asymptotic behaviour %A Moharram Aghapournahr %A Leif Melkersson %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %X Let $R$ be a noetherian ring, $\fa$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ an $R$--module and $n$ a non-negative integer. In this paper we first will study the finiteness properties of the kernel and the cokernel of the natural map $f:\Ext^n_{R}(R/\fa,M)\lo \Hom_{R}(R/\fa,\lc^{n}_{\fa}(M))$. Then we will get some corollaries about the associated primes and artinianness of local cohomology modules. Finally we will study the asymptotic behaviour of the kernel and the cokernel of this natural map in the graded case. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0807.2967v2
