The depth of an ideal with a given Hilbert function

Abstract: Let

A = K [x_{1}, ..., x_{n}]

denote the polynomial ring in

n

variables over a field

K

with each

d e g x_{i} = 1

. Let

I

be a homogeneous ideal of

A

with

I e A

and

H_{A / I}

the Hilbert function of the quotient algebra

A / I

. Given a numerical function

H : m a t h b b N o m a t h b b N

satisfying

H = H_{A / I}

for some homogeneous ideal

I

of

A

, we write

m a t h c a l A_{H}

for the set of those integers

0 l e q r l e q n

such that there exists a homogeneous ideal

I

of

A

with

H_{A / I} = H

and with

d e p t h A / I = r

. It will be proved that one has either

m a t h c a l A_{H} = 0, 1, ..., b

for some

0 l e q b l e q n

or

| m a t h c a l A_{H} | = 1

.
