In this paper, we study the relationship between multigraded regularity and the resolution regularity vector. Our method is to investigate multigraded variants of the usual a*-invariant. This, in particular, provides an effective approach to examining the vanishing of multigraded pieces of local cohomology modules with respect to different graded irrelevant ideals.Final version to appear in J.
