Cofiniteness of weakly Laskerian local cohomology modules

Abstract

Let $I$ be an ideal of a Noetherian ring R and M be a finitely generated R-module. We introduce the class of extension modules of finitely generated modules by the class of all modules $T$ with $\dim T\leq n$ and we show it by ${\rm FD_{\leq n}}$ where $n\geq -1$ is an integer. We prove that for any ${\rm FD_{\leq 0}}$(or minimax) submodule N of $H^t_I(M)$ the R-modules ${\rm Hom}_R(R/I,H^{t}_I(M)/N) {\rm and} {\rm Ext}^1_R(R/I,H^{t}_I(M)/N)$ are finitely generated, whenever the modules $H^0_I(M)$, $H^1_I(M)$, ..., $H^{t-1}_I(M)$ are ${\rm FD_{\leq 1}}$ (or weakly Laskerian). As a consequence, it follows that the associated primes of $H^{t}_I(M)/N$ are finite. This generalizes the main results of Bahmanpour and Naghipour, Brodmann and Lashgari, Khashyarmanesh and Salarian, and Hong Quy. We also show that the category $\mathscr {FD}^1(R,I)_{cof}$ of $I$-cofinite ${\rm FD_{\leq1}}$ ~ $R$-modules forms an Abelian subcategory of the category of all $R$-modules.
