Abstract
Let A be a one-dimensional reduced local ring with finite normalization. Let G(A) be the associated graded ring of A. In this paper we analyse the two conditions: Proj (G(A)) reduced and G(A) reduced together with their relations with the equality H(n)=HR (n), where H(n) and HR (n) are respectively the Hilbert function of the ring A and of the local ring R of G(A)red=G(A)/nil (G(A)) at its homogenous maximal ideal. As a consequence of our results we get a class of ordinary singularities with H(n) locally decreasing for any embedding dimension H(1) greater then 4.
