Beweis
We assume
,
lower dimensions may be treated directly. Because of
,
we can also reduce to the case of a primary ideal . Suppose that
,
and let
be the corresponding non-zero class arising from a finite free resolution. At least one component, say
,
is then also non-zero, and we can write it in terms of Čech-cohomology as
-
where is a regular system of parameters of and
.
We have to show that there is no
such that
for all
.
Multiplying the class with some element of we may assume that is a unit.
We have
(with
)
-
and its annihilator is . But then
-
