Abstract

Let R be a commutative Noetherian ring that is a smooth Z-algebra. For each ideal a of R and integer k, we prove that the local cohomology module (Formula presented.) has finitely many associated prime ideals. This settles a crucial outstanding case of a conjecture of Lyubeznik asserting this finiteness for local cohomology modules of all regular rings.
