Let E be an injective module over the commutative Noetherian ring A, and let a be an ideal of A. The A-module (0:Eα) has a secondary representation, and the finite set AttA(0:Eα) of its attached prime ideals can be formed. One of the main results of this note is that the sequence of sets (AttA(0:Eαn))n∈N is ultimately constant. This result is analogous to a theorem of M. Brodmann that, if M is a finitely generated A-module, then the sequence of sets (AssA(M/αnM))n∈N is ultimately constant.
