Abstract

Each matrix representation A = k[ x 1 , \frac{1}{4} , x n ] {\rm A} = κ[x_1 , \ldots ,x_n ] The graded ( x 1 , \frac{1}{4} , x n ) (x_1 , \ldots ,x_n ) is studied. A decomposition of M( Pgr) into generic modules is given. Relations between the numerical invariants of Pgr and those of M( Pgr), the latter being efficiently computable by Gröbner bases methods, are examined. It is shown that if Pgr is multiplicity-free, then the dimensions of the irreducible constituents of Pgr can be read off from the Hilbert series of M(Pi;). It is proved that determinantal relations form Gröbner bases for the syzygies on generic matrices with respect to any lexicographic order. Gröbner bases for generic modules are also constructed, and their Hilbert series are derived. Consequently, the Hilbert series of M(Pi;) is obtained for an arbitrary representation.
