A Generalization of Formal Local Cohomology Modules

Let a and b be two ideals of a commutative Noetherian ring R, M a finitely generated R-module and i an integer. In this paper we study formal local cohomology modules with respect to a pair of ideals. We denote the i-th a-formal local cohomology module M with respect to b by ${\mathfrak{F}}^i_{a,b}(M)$. We show that if ${\mathfrak{F}}^i_{a,b}(M)$ is artinian, then $a{\subseteq}{\sqrt{(0:{\mathfrak{F}}^i_{a,b}(M))$. Also, we show that ${\mathfrak{F}}^{\text{dim }M}_{a,b}(M)$ is artinian and we determine the set $Att_R\;{\mathfrak{F}}^{\text{dim }M}_{a,b}(M)$.
