On Hilbert functions of general intersections of ideals

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Let I and J be homogeneous ideals in a standard graded polynomial ring. We study upper bounds of the Hilbert function of the intersection of I and g(J), where g is a general change of coordinates. Our main result gives a generalization of Green's hyperplane section theorem.


Let \(k\) be an infinite field and \(S=k[x_1,\ldots,x_n]\) be a standard graded polynomial ring. Let \(I\) and \(J\) be homogeneous ideals of \(S\) and \(g\) a general change of coordinates of \(S\). The authors give upper bounds of the Hilbert function of the intersection of \(I\) and \(g(J)\) in terms of the Hilbert function of the intersection of the lex-segment ideal of \(I\) and the opposite lex-segment ideal of \(J\).
