Commutative algebra | Algebraic geometry

Hilbert series and Hilbert polynomial

In commutative algebra, the Hilbert function, the Hilbert polynomial, and the Hilbert series of a graded commutative algebra finitely generated over a field are three strongly related notions which measure the growth of the dimension of the homogeneous components of the algebra. These notions have been extended to filtered algebras, and graded or filtered modules over these algebras, as well as to coherent sheaves over projective schemes. The typical situations where these notions are used are the following: * The quotient by a homogeneous ideal of a multivariate polynomial ring, graded by the total degree. * The quotient by an ideal of a multivariate polynomial ring, filtered by the total degree. * The filtration of a local ring by the powers of its maximal ideal. In this case the Hilbert polynomial is called the Hilbert–Samuel polynomial. The Hilbert series of an algebra or a module is a special case of the Hilbert–Poincaré series of a graded vector space. The Hilbert polynomial and Hilbert series are important in computational algebraic geometry, as they are the easiest known way for computing the dimension and the degree of an algebraic variety defined by explicit polynomial equations. In addition, they provide useful invariants for families of algebraic varieties because a flat family has the same Hilbert polynomial over any closed point . This is used in the construction of the Hilbert scheme and Quot scheme. (Wikipedia).

Dimitri Grigoryev - A Tropical Version of Hilbert Polynomial

We define Hilbert function of a semiring ideal of tropical polynomials in n variables. For n=1 we prove that it is the sum of a linear function and a periodic function (for sufficiently large values). The leading coefficient of the linear function equals the tropical entropy of the ideal.
