Abstract

In this paper we show that a large class of one-dimensional Cohen–Macaulay local rings has the property that if is a maximal Cohen–Macaulay -module then the Hilbert function of (with respect to ) is non-decreasing. Examples include (1) complete intersections where is regular local of dimension three and ; (2) one dimensional Cohen–Macaulay quotients of a two dimensional Cohen–Macaulay local ring with pseudo-rational singularity.
