Summary
The main goal of this paper is to establish finiteness properties of local cohomology modules in characteristic 0 that would be analogous to those proven by C. Huneke and R. Sharp in characteristicp>0. Our method, based on the theory of algebraicD-modules, seems to be the first application ofD-modules to Commutative Algebra.
