Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and cohomological dimension

Let $R=\oplus_{i\in \N_0}R_n$ be a standard graded ring, $R_+ :=\oplus_{i\in \N}R_n$ be the irrelevant ideal of $R$ and $\fa_0$ be an ideal of $R_0$. In this paper, as a generalization of the concept of Castelnouvo-Mumford regularity $\reg(M)$ of a finitely generated graded $R$-module $M$, we define the regularity of $M$ with respect to $\fa_0+ R_+$, say $\reg_{\fa_0+ R_+}(M)$. And we study some relations of this new invariant with the classic one. To this end, we need to consider the cohomological dimension of some finitely generated $R_0$-modules. Also, we will express $\reg_{\fa_0+ R_+}(M)$ in terms of some invariants of the minimal graded free resolution of $M$ and see that in a special case this invariant is independent of the choice of $\fa_0$.
