The dual Hilbert-Samuel function of a maximal Cohen-Macaulay module

Abstract: Let

R

be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring with a canonical module

o m e g a_{R}

. Let

I

be an

m

-primary ideal of

R

and

M

, a maximal Cohen-Macaulay

R

-module. We call the function

n l o n g m a p s t o e l l (H o m_{R} (M, o m e g a_{R} / I^{n + 1} o m e g a_{R}))

the dual Hilbert-Samuel function of

M

with respect to

I

. By a result of Theodorescu this function is a polynomial function. We study its first two normalized coefficients.
