Abstract

In this paper we show that a large class of one-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay local rings (A,m)(\mathcal A,\mathfrak m) has the property that if MM is a maximal Cohen–Macaulay AA-module then the Hilbert function of MM (with respect to m\mathfrak m) is non-decreasing. Examples include (1) complete intersections A=Q/(f,g)A = Q/(f,g) where (Q,n)(Q,\mathfrak n) is regular local of dimension three and fn2n3f \in \mathfrak n^2 \setminus \mathfrak n^3; (2) one dimensional Cohen–Macaulay quotients of a two dimensional Cohen–Macaulay local ring with pseudo-rational singularity.
