Let I be an ideal in a polynomial ring S over an infinite field such that I is generated by a generic sequence of homogeneous polynomials of specified degrees. Fröberg has conjectured a formula for the Hilbert series of S/I. Moreno-Socías has conjectured a combinatorial property for the initial ideal of I with respect to degree reverse lexicographic order. I show that Moreno-Socías' Conjecture implies Fröberg's Conjecture. I also give a criterion for a Hilbert series to admit an ideal with the property proposed by MorenoSocías and show that the Hilbert series proposed by Fröberg does have this property.Published by Elsevier Inc.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
