Minimaxness and finiteness properties of local homology and local cohomology modules

We prove some results concerning minimaxness and finiteness of local homology modules and by Matlis duality we extend some results for the minimaxness and finiteness of local cohomology modules. We introduce the concept of C-minimax R-modules, and we discuss the maximum and minimum integers such that local homology and local cohomology modules are C-minimax. As a consequence, we find minimum integers such that local homology and local cohomology modules are of finite length.
