Abstract

Let RR be a polynomial ring over a field of characteristic zero and let IRI \subset R be a graded ideal of height NN which is minimally generated by N+1N+1 homogeneous polynomials. If I=(f1,...,fN+1)I=(f_1,...,f_{N+1}) where fif_i has degree did_i and (f1,...,fN)(f_1,...,f_N) has height NN, then the multiplicity of R/IR/I is bounded above by i=1Ndimax{1,i=1N(di1)(dN+11)}\prod_{i=1}^N d_i - \max\{1, \sum_{i=1}^N (d_i-1) - (d_{N+1}-1) \}.
