De Rham cohomology of local cohomology modules: The graded case

Abstract

AbstractLet K be a field of characteristic zero, and let R = K[X1,… ,Xn]. Let An(K) = K⟨X1,… ,Xn,∂1,… ,∂n⟩ be the nth Weyl algebra over K. We consider the case when R and An(K) are graded by giving deg Xi = ωi and deg ∂i = –ωi for i = 1,…,n (here ωi are positive integers). Set . Let I be a graded ideal in R. By a result due to Lyubeznik the local cohomology modules are holonomic (An(K))-modules for each i≥0. In this article we prove that the de Rham cohomology modules are concentrated in degree —ω; that is, for j ≠ –ω. As an application when A = R/(f) is an isolated singularity, we relate to Hn-1(∂(f);A), the (n – 1)th Koszul cohomology of A with respect to ∂1(f),…, ∂n(f).
