Faltings' annihilator theorem

In abstract algebra (specifically commutative ring theory), Faltings' annihilator theorem states: given a finitely generated module M over a Noetherian commutative ring A and ideals I, J, the following are equivalent:^[1]

$\operatorname {depth} M_{\mathfrak {p}}+\operatorname {ht} (I+{\mathfrak {p}})/{\mathfrak {p}}\geq n$ for any ${\mathfrak {p}}\in \operatorname {Spec} (A)-V(J)$ ,
there is an ideal ${\mathfrak {b}}$ in A such that ${\mathfrak {b}}\supset J$ and ${\mathfrak {b}}$ annihilates the local cohomologies $\operatorname {H} _{I}^{i}(M),0\leq i\leq n-1$ ,

provided either A has a dualizing complex or is a quotient of a regular ring.

The theorem was first proved by Faltings in (Faltings 1981).
