Abstract

Let II be an ideal of the polynomial ring A[x]=A[x1,...,xn]A[x]=A[x_1,...,x_n] over the commutative, noetherian ring AA. Geometrically II defines a family of affine schemes over \Spec(A)\Spec(A): For \p\Spec(A)\p\in\Spec(A), the fibre over \p\p is the closed subscheme of affine space over the residue field k(\p)k(\p), which is determined by the extension of II under the canonical map σ\p:A[x]k(\p)[x]\sigma_\p:A[x]\to k(\p)[x]. If II is homogeneous there is an analogous projective setting, but again the ideal defining the fibre is \sigI\sigI. For a chosen term order this ideal has a unique reduced Gr\"{o}bner basis which is known to contain considerable geometric information about the fibre. We study the behavior of this basis for varying \p\p and prove the existence of a canonical decomposition of the base space \Spec(A)\Spec(A) into finitely many locally closed subsets over which the reduced Gr\"{o}bner bases of the fibres can be parametrized in a suitable way.
