Asymptotic stabilization of Betti diagrams of generic initial systems

Abstract

Several authors investigating the asymptotic behaviour of the Betti diagrams of the graded system $\{I^{k}\}$ independently showed that the shape of the nonzero entries in the diagrams stabilizes when $I$ is a homogeneous ideal with generators of the same degree. In this paper, we study the Betti diagrams of graded systems of ideals built by taking the initial ideals or generic initial ideals of powers, and discuss the stabilization of additional collections of Betti diagrams. Our main result shows that when $I$ has generators of the same degree, the entries in the Betti diagrams of the reverse lexicographic generic initial system $\{\operatorname{gin}(I^{k})\}$ are given asymptotically by polynomials and that the shape of the diagrams stabilizes.
