The Recovery of $\lambda$ from a Hilbert Polynomial

Symbolic Computation 2024-06-06 v2

Abstract

In the study of Hilbert schemes, the integer partition λ\lambda helps researchers identify some geometric and combinatorial properties of the scheme in question. To aid researchers in extracting such information from a Hilbert polynomial, we describe an efficient algorithm which can identify if p(x)Q[x]p(x)\in\mathbb{Q}[x] is a Hilbert polynomial and if so, recover the integer partition λ\lambda associated with it.
