Abstract

Let \({Q = {\mathbb P}^1 \times {\mathbb P}^1}\) and let \({X\subset Q}\) be a zero-dimensional scheme. The results in this paper give the possibility of computing, under certain hypotheses, the Hilbert function of a zero-dimensional scheme in Q that is not ACM. In particular we show how, under some conditions on X, its Hilbert function changes when we add points to X lying on a (1, 0) or (0, 1)-line. As a particular case we show also that if X is ACM this result holds without any additional hypothesis.
