Abstract: We give a bound on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a homogeneous ideals I, in a polynomial ring A, in terms of number of variables and the degrees of generators, when the dimension of A/I is at most two. This bound improves the one obtained by Caviglia and Sbarra in this case. In the continuation of the examples constructed by Clare D'Cruz and the first author, we use families of monomial curves to construct homogeneous ideals showing that these bounds are quite sharp.


Let \(A\) be a polynomial ring of \(m+2\) variables over a field, and let \(I\) be a homogeneous ideal of \(A\) generated by \(s\) forms of degrees \(d_1 \geq \dots \geq d_s\) with \(s>m\) and \(\dim A/I = 2\). Let \(Z\) be the zero dimensional scheme defined by a general section of \(\text{Proj}(A/I)\) and \(i_Z = \text{indeg}(I_Z)\) the smallest degree of a hypersurface containing \(Z\). Then the main theorem gives an upper bound of the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of \(I\), that is, \[ \text{reg}(I) \leq (d_1 \cdot\dots\cdot d_m - \deg(Z) + 1) (d_1 + \cdots + d_{m+1} - m -i_Z) + i_Z. \] Using examples due to \textit{M. Chardin} and \textit{C. D'Cruz} [J. Algebra 270, 347--360 (2003; Zbl 1056.14065)], the authors construct certain homogeneous ideals and give lower bounds of their Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities, which show that the bound given in the main theorem is quite sharp.
