Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring, $𝔞$ an ideal of $R$, $M$ an $R$-module and $t$ a non-negative integer. In this paper we show that the class of minimax modules includes the class of $\mathrm{𝒜ℱ}$ modules. The main result is that if the $R$-module ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^t(R/𝔞,M)$ is finite (finitely generated), $H_{𝔞}^i\left(M\right)$ is $𝔞$-cofinite for all $i<t$ and $H_{𝔞}^t\left(M\right)$ is minimax then $H_{𝔞}^t\left(M\right)$ is $𝔞$-cofinite. As a consequence we show that if $M$ and $N$ are finite $R$-modules and $H_{𝔞}^i\left(N\right)$ is minimax for all $i<t$ then the set of associated prime ideals of the generalized local cohomology...

Let $R$ be a ring and $M$ a right $R$-module. $M$ is called $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented if every submodule $N$ of $M$ with $\frac{M}{N}$ finitely generated has a supplement that is a direct summand of $M$. In this paper various properties of the $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules are given. It is shown that (1) Arbitrary direct sum of $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented modules is $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented. (2) A ring $R$ is semiperfect if and only if every free $R$-module is $\oplus$-cofinitely supplemented. In addition, if $M$ has the...

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring with identity and $I$ an ideal of $R$. It is shown that, if $M$ is a non-zero minimax $R$-module such that $dim\mathrm{Supp}{H}_I^i\left(M\right)\le 1$ for all $i$, then the $R$-module $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is $I$-cominimax for all $i$. In fact, $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is $I$-cofinite for all $i\ge 1$. Also, we prove that for a weakly Laskerian $R$-module $M$, if $R$ is local and $t$ is a non-negative integer such that $dim\mathrm{Supp}{H}_I^i\left(M\right)\le 2$ for all $i<t$, then ${\mathrm{Ext}}_R^j(R/I,H_I^i\left(M\right))$ and ${\mathrm{Hom}}_R(R/I,H_I^t\left(M\right))$ are weakly Laskerian for all $i<t$ and all $j\ge 0$. As a consequence, the set of associated primes of $H_I^i\left(M\right)$ is finite for all $i\ge 0$, whenever...
