Lemma 48.11.3. Let $A$ be a ring and let $J \subset I \subset A$ be finitely generated ideals. Let $p \geq 0$ be an integer. Set $U = \mathop{\mathrm{Spec}}(A) \setminus V(I)$. If $H^p(U, \mathcal{O}_U)$ is annihilated by $J^n$ for some $n$, then $H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$ annihilated by $J^m$ for some $m = m(\mathcal{F})$ for every finite locally free $\mathcal{O}_U$-module $\mathcal{F}$.

Proof. Consider the annihilator $\mathfrak a$ of $H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$. Let $u \in U$. There exists an open neighbourhood $u \in U' \subset U$ and an isomorphism $\varphi : \mathcal{O}_{U'}^{\oplus r} \to \mathcal{F}|_{U'}$. Pick $f \in A$ such that $u \in D(f) \subset U'$. There exist maps $$a : \mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r} \longrightarrow \mathcal{F} \quad\text{and}\quad b : \mathcal{F} \longrightarrow \mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r}$$ whose restriction to $D(f)$ are equal to $f^N \varphi$ and $f^N \varphi^{-1}$ for some $N$. Moreover we may assume that $a \circ b$ and $b \circ a$ are equal to multiplication by $f^{2N}$. This follows from Properties, Lemma 27.17.3 since $U$ is quasi-compact ($I$ is finitely generated), separated, and $\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r}$ are finitely presented. Thus we see that $H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$ is annihilated by $f^{2N}J^n$, i.e., $f^{2N}J^n \subset \mathfrak a$.

As $U$ is quasi-compact we can find finitely many $f_1, \ldots, f_t$ and $N_1, \ldots, N_t$ such that $U = \bigcup D(f_i)$ and $f_i^{2N_i}J^n \subset \mathfrak a$. Then $V(I) = V(f_1, \ldots, f_t)$ and since $I$ is finitely generated we conclude $I^M \subset (f_1, \ldots, f_t)$ for some $M$. All in all we see that $J^m \subset \mathfrak a$ for $m \gg 0$, for example $m = M (2N_1 + \ldots + 2N_t) n$ will do. $\square$

Let $A$ be a ring and let $J \subset I \subset A$ be finitely generated ideals.
Let $p \geq 0$ be an integer. Set $U = \Spec(A) \setminus V(I)$. If
$H^p(U, \mathcal{O}_U)$ is annihilated by $J^n$ for some $n$, then
$H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$ annihilated by $J^m$ for some $m = m(\mathcal{F})$
for every finite locally free $\mathcal{O}_U$-module $\mathcal{F}$.
\end{lemma}

\begin{proof}
Consider the annihilator $\mathfrak a$ of $H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$.
Let $u \in U$. There exists an open neighbourhood $u \in U' \subset U$
and an isomorphism
$\varphi : \mathcal{O}_{U'}^{\oplus r} \to \mathcal{F}|_{U'}$.
Pick $f \in A$ such that $u \in D(f) \subset U'$.
There exist maps
$$a : \mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r} \longrightarrow \mathcal{F} \quad\text{and}\quad b : \mathcal{F} \longrightarrow \mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r}$$
whose restriction to $D(f)$ are equal to $f^N \varphi$
and $f^N \varphi^{-1}$ for some $N$. Moreover we may assume that
$a \circ b$ and $b \circ a$ are equal to multiplication by $f^{2N}$.
This follows from Properties, Lemma
\ref{properties-lemma-section-maps-backwards}
since $U$ is quasi-compact ($I$ is finitely generated), separated, and
$\mathcal{F}$ and $\mathcal{O}_U^{\oplus r}$ are finitely presented.
Thus we see that $H^p(U, \mathcal{F})$ is annihilated by
$f^{2N}J^n$, i.e., $f^{2N}J^n \subset \mathfrak a$.

\medskip\noindent
As $U$ is quasi-compact we can find finitely many $f_1, \ldots, f_t$
and $N_1, \ldots, N_t$ such that $U = \bigcup D(f_i)$ and
$f_i^{2N_i}J^n \subset \mathfrak a$. Then $V(I) = V(f_1, \ldots, f_t)$
and since $I$ is finitely generated we conclude
$I^M \subset (f_1, \ldots, f_t)$ for some $M$.
All in all we see that $J^m \subset \mathfrak a$ for
$m \gg 0$, for example $m = M (2N_1 + \ldots + 2N_t) n$  will do.
\end{proof}
