Let $X$ be a projective variety over $mathbbC$. If $L$ is an ample line bundle, then $h_L$ denotes the Hilbert polynomial.





Is it true that, if $L$ and $L'$ are ample line bundles which are equal in the Neron-Severi group, then $h_L = h_L'$?



Does this imply, together with finite generation of Neron-Severi groups, that the set of polynomials $ L $ ample line bundle on $X $ is finite?





Can anyone recommend a text (book or article) in which these things are explained (to some extent)?

    As Sasha rightly points out, the answer to the second question is negative because you can take linear combinations of line bundles. My answer to this question contains a slightly modified statement you can deduce from finite generation of the Néron–Severi group.

  • @R.vanDobbendeBruyn Do I understand correctly that your answer says that, given a choice of generators, one obtains a "universal" polynomial $p$ (in the sense that any other Hilbert polynomial is a very specific type of specialization of this one)?

    Yes, that is the conclusion. (It's universal in a weak sense, because it depends on some choices.) I also worked out one non-trivial example, to show that it's not so easy to get a complete parametrisation of all Hilbert polynomials obtained this way.

Yes for the first question, by Riemann--Roch.



No for the second --- even in the simplest case of a projective line, the polynomial $td + 1$ is the Hilbert polynomial (with respect to $L = O(d)$).

    You don't really need Riemann-Roch, only that $chi$ is constant in an algebraic family.

    Should that be $td +1$? I thought the degree of the Hilbert polynomial always equals the dimension of the variety.
