Green's hyperplane restriction theorem: an extension to modules (Q2341551)

The main result of this paper is Theorem 3.18, which generalizes Green's hyperplane restriction theorem [\textit{M. Green}, Lect. Notes Math. 1389, 76--86 (1989; Zbl 0717.14002)] to graded modules over the polynomial ring. The notion of lexicographic module is introduced in Definition 3.3, and then the statement of Theorem 3.18 is very similar to that of Green's theorem. In order to prove Theorem 3.18, an inequality about the Macaulay representation is obtained in Proposition 3.16. It is also worth mentioning that Green's theorem is used in the proof of Theorem 3.18. At the end, the paper includes an application of Theorem 3.18 to the Hilbert functions of level algebras.
