Abstract

Given the Hilbert function uu of a closed subscheme of a projective space over an infinite field KK, let mum_u and MuM_u be, respectively, the minimum and the maximum among all the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularities of schemes with Hilbert function uu. I show that, for every integer mm such that mumMum_u \leq m \leq M_u, there exists a scheme with Hilbert function uu and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity mm. As a consequence, the analogous algebraic result for an O-sequence ff and homogeneous polynomial ideals over KK with Hilbert function ff holds too. Although this result does not need any explicit computation, I also describe how to compute a scheme with the above requested properties. Precisely, I give a method to construct a strongly stable ideal defining such a scheme.
