Multigraded Structures and the Depth of Blow-up Algebras

[eng] A first goal of this thesis is to contribute to the knowledge of cohomological properties of non-standard multigraded modules. In particular we study the Hilbert function of a non-standard multigraded module, the asymptotic depth of the homogeneous components of a multigraded module and the asymptotic depth of the Veronese modules. To reach our purposes, we generalize some cohomological invariants to the non-standard multigraded case and we study properties on the vanishing of local cohomology modules. In particular we study the generalized depth of a multigraded module. In chapters 2, 3 and 4, we consider multigraded rings S, finitely generated over the local ring S0 by elements of degrees g1,.,gr with gi=(g1i,.,gii,.,0) non-negative integral vectors and gii not zero for i=1,.,r. In Chapter 2, we prove that the Hilbert function of a multigraded S-module is quasi-polynomial in a cone of N^r. Moreover the Grothendieck-Serre formula is satisfied in our situation as well. In Chapter 3, using the quasi-polynomial behavior of the Hilbert function of the Koszul homology modules of a multigraded S-module M with respect to a system of generators of the maximal ideal of S0, we can prove that the depth of the homogeneous components of M is constant for degrees in a subnet of a cone of N^r defined by g1,.,gr. In some cases we can assure constant depth in all the cone. By considering the multigraded blow-up algebras associated to ideals I1,.,Ir in a Noetherian local ring (R,m), we can prove that the depth of R/I1^n1.Ir^nr is constant for n1,.,nr large enough. In Chapter 4, we study the depth of (a,b)-Veronese modules for a, b large enough. In particular we prove that in almost-standard case (i.e. the degrees of the generators are positive multiples of the canonical basis) with S0 a quotient of a regular local ring, this depth is constant for a, b in some regions of N^r. To reach this result we need a previous study about Veronese modules and about the vanishing of local cohomology modules. In particular we prove that, in the more general case, if S0 is a quotient of a regular local ring, the generalized depth is invariant by taking Veronese transforms. Moreover in the almost-standard case the generalized depth coincides with the index of finite graduation of the local cohomology modules with respect to the homogeneous maximal ideal. A second goal of the thesis is the study of the depth of blow-up algebras associated to an ideal. In Chapter 5 we obtain refined ve
