Multigraded Hilbert Series of noncommutative modules
In this paper, we propose methods for computing the Hilbert series of
multigraded right modules over the free associative algebra. In particular, we
compute such series for noncommutative multigraded algebras. Using results from
the theory of regular languages, we provide conditions when the methods are
effective and hence the sum of the Hilbert series is a rational function.
Moreover, a characterization of finite-dimensional algebras is obtained in
terms of the nilpotency of a key matrix involved in the computations. Using
this result, efficient variants of the methods are also developed for the
computation of Hilbert series of truncated infinite-dimensional algebras whose
(non-truncated) Hilbert series may not be rational functions. We consider some
applications of the computation of multigraded Hilbert series to algebras that
are invariant under the action of the general linear group. In fact, in this
case such series are symmetric functions which can be decomposed in terms of
Schur functions. Finally, we present an efficient and complete implementation
of (standard) graded and multigraded Hilbert series that has been developed in
the kernel of the computer algebra system Singular. A large set of tests
provides a comprehensive experimentation for the proposed algorithms and their
implementations.Comment: 28 pages, to appear in Journal of Algebr
