Lemma 52.9.5. Let $(A, \mathfrak m)$ be a Noetherian local ring. Let $I \subset A$ be an ideal. Let $M$ be a finite $A$-module. Let $s$ and $d$ be integers. Assume
$A$ is $I$-adically complete and has a dualizing complex,
if $\mathfrak p \in V(I)$, no condition,
$\text{cd}(A, I) \leq d$,
if $\mathfrak p \not\in V(I)$ and $V(\mathfrak p) \cap V(I) \not= \{ \mathfrak m\} $ then
\[ \text{depth}_{A_\mathfrak p}(M_\mathfrak p) \geq s \quad \text{or}\quad \text{depth}_{A_\mathfrak p}(M_\mathfrak p) + \dim (A/\mathfrak p) > d + s \]
Then there exists an ideal $J_0 \subset A$ with $V(J_0) \cap V(I) = \{ \mathfrak m\} $ such that for any $J \subset J_0$ with $V(J) \cap V(I) = \{ \mathfrak m\} $ the map
\[ R\Gamma _ J(M) \longrightarrow R\Gamma _ J(M)^\wedge = R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge \]
induces an isomorphism in cohomology in degrees $\leq s$. Here ${}^\wedge $ denotes derived $I$-adic completion.
Proof.
This lemma is a special case of Lemma 52.8.5 since condition (5)(c) is implied by condition (4) as $\delta _{max} = \delta _{min} = \delta (\mathfrak m)$. We will give the proof of this important special case as it is somewhat easier (fewer things to check).
There is no difference between $R\Gamma _\mathfrak a$ and $R\Gamma _{V(\mathfrak a)}$ in our current situation, see Dualizing Complexes, Lemma 47.10.1. Next, we observe that
\[ R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge = R\Gamma _ I(R\Gamma _ J(M))^\wedge = R\Gamma _ J(M)^\wedge \]
by Dualizing Complexes, Lemmas 47.9.6 and 47.12.1 which explains the equality sign in the statement of the lemma.
Observe that the lemma holds for $s < 0$. This is not a trivial case because it is not a priori clear that $H^ s(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge )$ is zero for negative $s$. However, this vanishing was established in Lemma 52.5.4. We will prove the lemma by induction for $s \geq 0$.
The assumptions of Lemma 52.9.2 are satisfied by Local Cohomology, Lemma 51.4.10. The lemma for $s = 0$ follows from Lemma 52.9.2 and Dualizing Complexes, Lemma 47.12.5.
Assume $s > 0$ and the lemma holds for smaller values of $s$. Let $M' \subset M$ be the submodule of elements whose support is condained in $V(I) \cup V(J)$ for some ideal $J$ with $V(J) \cap V(I) = \{ \mathfrak m\} $. Then $M'$ is a finite $A$-module. We claim that
\[ R\Gamma _ J(M') \to R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M')^\wedge \]
is an isomorphism for any choice of $J$. Namely, for any such module there is a short exact sequence $0 \to M_1 \oplus M_2 \to M' \to N \to 0$ with $M_1$ annihilated by a power of $J$, with $M_2$ annihilated by a power of $I$ and with $N$ annihilated by a power of $\mathfrak m$. In the case of $M_1$ we see that $R\Gamma _ J(M_1) = M_1$ and since $M_1$ is a finite $A$-module and $I$-adically complete we have $M_1^\wedge = M_1$. Thus the claim holds for $M_1$. In the case of $M_2$ we see that $H^ i_ J(M_2)$ is annihilated by a power of $I$ and hence derived complete. Thus the claim for $M_2$. By the same arguments the claim holds for $N$ and we conclude that the claim holds. Considering the short exact sequence $0 \to M' \to M \to M/M' \to 0$ we see that it suffices to prove the lemma for $M/M'$. This we may assume $\mathfrak p \in \text{Ass}(M)$ implies $V(\mathfrak p) \cap V(I) \not= \{ \mathfrak m\} $, i.e., $\mathfrak p$ is a prime as in (4).
Choose an ideal $J_0$ as in Lemma 52.9.2 and an integer $t > 0$ such that $(J_0I)^ t$ annihilates $H^ s_ J(M)$. Here $J$ denotes an arbitrary ideal $J \subset J_0$ with $V(J) \cap V(I) = \{ \mathfrak m\} $. The assumptions of Lemma 52.9.1 are satisfied for every $\mathfrak p \in \text{Ass}(M)$ (see previous paragraph). Thus the annihilator $\mathfrak a \subset A$ of $H^ s(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge )$ is not contained in $\mathfrak p$ for $\mathfrak p \in \text{Ass}(M)$. Thus we can find an $f \in \mathfrak a(J_0I)^ t$ not in any associated prime of $M$ which is an annihilator of both $H^ s(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge )$ and $H^ s_ J(M)$. Then $f$ is a nonzerodivisor on $M$ and we can consider the short exact sequence
\[ 0 \to M \xrightarrow {f} M \to M/fM \to 0 \]
Our choice of $f$ shows that we obtain
\[ \xymatrix{ H^{s - 1}_ J(M) \ar[d] \ar[r] & H^{s - 1}_ J(M/fM) \ar[d] \ar[r] & H^ s_ J(M) \ar[d] \ar[r] & 0 \\ H^{s - 1}(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge ) \ar[r] & H^{s - 1}(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M/fM)^\wedge ) \ar[r] & H^ s(R\Gamma _\mathfrak m(M)^\wedge ) \ar[r] & 0 } \]
for any $J \subset J_0$ with $V(J) \cap V(I) = \{ \mathfrak m\} $. Thus if we choose $J$ such that it works for $M$ and $M/fM$ and $s - 1$ (possible by induction hypothesis), then we conclude that the lemma is true.
