Abstract: In this paper, we will give some geometric results using generic initial ideals for the degree reverse lex order. The first application is to the regularity of a Cohen-Macaulay algebra, and we improve a well-known bound. The main goal of the paper, though, is to improve on results of Bigatti, Geramita and Migliore concerning geometric consequences of maximal growth of the Hilbert function of the Artinian reduction of a set of points. When the points have the Uniform Position Property, the consequences they gave are even more striking. Here we weaken the growth condition, assuming only that the values of the Hilbert function of the Artinian reduction are equal in two consecutive degrees, and that the first of these degrees is greater than the second reduction number of the points. We continue to get nice geometric consequences even from this weaker assumption. However, we have surprising examples to show that imposing the Uniform Position Property on the points does not give the striking consequences that one might expect. This leads to a better understanding of the Hilbert function, and the ideal itself, of a set of points with the Uniform Position Property, which is an important open question. In the last section we describe the role played by the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP) in this theory, and we show that the general hyperplane section of a smooth curve may fail to have WLP.

Review text

The main aim of this paper is to apply the theory of generic initial ideals to the study of geometric consequences hat arise when the Hilbert function of the Artinian reduction of a set of points has certain growth properties. These growth properties are related to the generalized reduction numbers introduced by \textit{L. T. Hoa} and \textit{N. V. Trung} [J. Algebra 270, No. 1, 335--346 (2003; Zbl 1066.13002)]. Instead of the maximal growth of the Hilbert function the authors assume only that the Hilbert function are equal in two consecutive degrees and that the first of these degrees is greater than the second reduction number. Many results on the maximal growth obtained by \textit{A. Bigatti, A. Geramita} and \textit{J. Migliore} [Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 346, No. 1, 203--235 (1994; Zbl 0820.13019)] continue to hold under this weaker assumption. Moreover, the authors show that a set of points with the Uniform Position Property (or even a general hyperplane section of a smooth curve) does not have the Weak Lefschetz Property as one might expect. They also study the role of the Weak Lefschetz Property in this context, which turns out to be related to the third reduction number.
