A Bezout theorem for determinantal modules
Un théorème de Strano montre que si une courbe gauche localement Cohen-Macaulay n’est pas minimale dans sa classe de biliaison, elle admet une biliaison élémentaire strictement décroissante. R. Hartshorne a récemment donné une nouvelle preuve de ce résultat en le plaçant dans un contexte plus général. Dans cet article on apporte une précision, en utilisant les techniques introduites par Hartshorne : on montre que si un sous-schéma de codimension localement Cohen-Macaulay de n’est pas minimal...
The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity reg(M) is one of the most important invariants of a finitely generated graded module M over a polynomial ring R. For instance, it measures the amount of computational resources that working with M requires. In general one knows that the regularity of a module can be doubly exponential in the degrees of the minimal generators and in the number of the variables. On the other hand, in many situations one has or one conjectures a much better behavior. One may ask,...
We characterize the postulation character of arithmetically Gorenstein curves in P4. We give conditions under which the curve can be realized in the form mH - K on some ACM surface. Finally, we complement a theorem by Watanabe by showing that any general arithmetically Gorenstein curve in P4 with arbitrary fixed postulation character can be obtained from a line by a series of ascending complete-intersection biliaisons.
