Title: Faithfulness of top local cohomology modules in domains.
Abstract: Inspired by a question of Lynch, we consider the following
question: under what conditions is the highest non-vanishing local
cohomology module of a domain R with support in an ideal I, faithful as an
R-module? We will review some of what is known about this question, and
provide an affirmative answer in positive characteristic when the
cohomological dimension is equal to the number of generators of the ideal.
This is based on joint work with Mel Hochster.
