There are many different ways of recording this numerical information : numerical character of Gruson/Peskine, $h$-vector, postulation character of Martin-Deschamps/Perrin... The first aim of this paper is to show the equivalence between these notions. The second, and most important aim, is to study the postulation of codimension 3 ACM subschemes of ${\\mathbb P}^N$. We use a result of Macaulay which describes all the Hilbert functions of the quotients of a polynomial ring. By iterating the number of variables, we obtain a new form of the growth of these functions.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-01-27T13:40:34.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "14M05", "14Q05", "13P99" ], "keywords": [ "caractères numériques", "codimension", "first aim", "important aim", "acm subschemes" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 25, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math......1375M" } } }
