Let $R$ be a Noetherian, commutative ring and $M,N$ be finitely generated $R$-modules. **Question**: Are the sets of minimal primes of $\text{Ext}^i_R(M,N)$ becomes periodic for $i\gg 0$? **Background/Motivation**: In this part I will assume $R$ local (I don't think it's significant for the question, but some statements will be awkward in general). I was motivated to ask after this [recent question](http://mathoverflow.net/questions/32137/the-associated-prime-ideals-of-exti-rm-n). It is known that the asymptotic behavior of these $\text{Ext}$ is governed by the singularity of $R$. For instance, if $R$ is regular, then $\text{Ext}^i_R(M,N)=0$ for $i>\dim R$ because $R$ has finite global dimension equals to $\dim R$. If $R$ is a hypersurface, then it follows from Eisenbud's [original paper](http://www.jstor.org/pss/1999875) on matrix factorization that the minimal resolution of $M$ becomes eventually periodic of period $2$ after $\dim R$ spots, so the answer in this case is also affirmative. With a little bit more work, one can show that the supports of $\text{Ext}^i_R(M,N)$ (in fact, the annihilators) become eventually periodic of period $2$ when $R$ is a local *complete intersection*. One more situation when the answer is yes is when $\text{Spec}R$ has an isolated singularity. Then the support will eventually be just the maximal ideal. I think the answer is no in general, but not sure how to construct an example.
