Let $(R,𝔪)$ be a commutative Noetherian regular local ring of dimension $d$ and $I$ be a proper ideal of $R$ such that ${\mathrm{mAss}}_R(R/I)={\mathrm{Assh}}_R\left(I\right)$. It is shown that the $R$-module $H_I^{\mathrm{ht}\left(I\right)}\left(R\right)$ is $I$-cofinite if and only if $\mathrm{cd}(I,R)=\mathrm{ht}\left(I\right)$. Also we present a sufficient condition under which this condition the $R$-module $H_I^i\left(R\right)$ is finitely generated if and only if it vanishes.

Let R be a Noetherian ring and I an ideal of R. Let M be an I-cofinite and N a finitely generated R-module. It is shown that the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,M)$ are I-cofinite for all i ≥ 0 whenever dim Supp(M) ≤ 1 or dim Supp(N) ≤ 2. This immediately implies that if I has dimension one (i.e., dim R/I = 1) then the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,H_I^j\left(M\right))$ are I-cofinite for all i,j ≥ 0. Also, we prove that if R is local, then the R-modules $To{r}_i^R(N,M)$ are I-weakly cofinite for all i ≥ 0 whenever dim Supp(M) ≤ 2 or dim Supp(N) ≤ 3. Finally, it is shown that...

Let denote an ideal in a Noetherian ring R, and M a finitely generated R-module. We introduce the concept of the cohomological dimension filtration $={M_i}_{i=0}^c$, where c = cd(,M) and $M_i$ denotes the largest submodule of M such that $cd(,M_i)\le i$. Some properties of this filtration are investigated. In particular, if (R,) is local and c = dim M, we are able to determine the annihilator of the top local cohomology module $H_{}^c\left(M\right)$, namely $An{n}_R\left(H_{}^c\left(M\right)\right)=An{n}_R(M/M_{c-1})$. As a consequence, there exists an ideal of R such that $An{n}_R\left(H_{}^c\left(M\right)\right)=An{n}_R(M/H{⁰}_{}\left(M\right))$. This generalizes the main results...
