dc.descriptionThe problem of bounding the "complexity" of a polynomial ideal in terms of the degrees of its generators has attracted considerable interest, brought into focus by the influential survey of Bayer and Mumford. The present paper examines some of these results and questions from a geometric perspective. Specifically, motivated by work of Paoletti we introduce an invariant s(I) that measures the "positivity" of an ideal sheaf I. Degree bounds on generators of I yield bounds on this s-invariant, but s(I) may be small even when the degrees of its generators are large. We prove that s(I) computes the asymptotic Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of large powers of I, and bounds the asymptotic behavior of several other measures of complexity. We also show that this s-invariant behaves very well with respect to natural geometric and algebraic operations, which leads to considerably simplified constructions of varieties with irrational asymptotic regularity. The main tools are intersection theory and vanishing theorems.
