On Non-standard Hilbert Functions

Abstract

Let [Formula: see text] be a non-standard polynomial ring over a field k and let M be a finitely generated graded S-module. In this paper, we investigate the behaviour of Hilbert function of M and its relations with lattice point counting. More precisely, by using combinatorial tools, we prove that there exists a polytope such that the image of Hilbert function in some degree is equal to the number of lattice points of this polytope.
