The Artin-Rees Lemma is a crucial result in commutative algebra that provides conditions under which an ideal's power intersects with a submodule of a module. It essentially states that for an ideal and a finitely generated module, there exists some power of the ideal such that its intersection with any submodule can be controlled by a power of the ideal, linking it to properties of local cohomology and modules. This lemma is particularly useful when dealing with the Tor functor and sheaf cohomology, as it helps manage the behavior of ideals in these contexts.
congrats on reading the definition of Artin-Rees Lemma. now let's actually learn it.
