Hilbert polynomials and powers of ideals

Publication date 28 November 2008

Abstract: The growth of Hilbert coefficients for powers of ideals are studied. For a graded ideal

I

in the polynomial ring

S = K [x_{1}, ..., x_{n}]

and a finitely generated graded

S

-module, the Hilbert coefficients

e_{i} (M / I^{k} M)

are polynomial functions. Given two families of graded ideals

(I_{k})_{k g e q 0}

and

(J_{k})_{k g e q 0}

with

J_{k} s u b s e t I_{k}

for all

k

with the property that

J_{k} J_{e} l l s u b s e t J_{k + e l l}

and

I_{k} I_{e} l l s u b s e t I_{k + e l l}

for all

k

and

e l l

, and such that the algebras

A = D i r s u m_{k g e q 0} J_{k}

and

B = D i r s u m_{k g e q 0} I_{k}

are finitely generated, we show the function

k m a p s t o_{0} (I_{k} / J_{k})

is of quasi-polynomial type, say given by the polynomials

P_{0}, ..., P_{g - 1}

. If

J_{k} = J^{k}

for all

k

then we show that all the

P_{i}

have the same degree and the same leading coefficient. As one of the applications it is shown that

l i m_{k o i n f t y} l e n g t h (G a m m a_{m} m (S / I^{k})) / k^{n} i n m a t h b b Q .

We also study analogous statements in the local case.
