An algorithm for computing the (first) syzygies of I is due independently to Spear [Spe77] and Schreyer [Sch80]: One chooses an ordering on the monomials of S, and then constructs a monomial ideal in (1) generated by the lead terms of all elements of I, in (l) can be viewed as the limit of 1 under the action of a 1-parameter subgroup of GL (n) on the Hilbert scheme [Bay 82], so in (1) occurs as the special fiber of a flat family whose general fiber is isomorphic to I. It follows from a well-known criterion for flatness [Art 76] that each syzygy of in (l) can be lifted to a syzygy of I; the set of syzygies thus obtained can be trimmed to give a complete set of minimal syzygies of I. The rnonomial ideal in (I) was first studied by Macaulay [Mac27]; an algorithm for its construction was first given by Buchberger [Buc 65],[Buc 76]. in (I) is studied in [Hir 64],[Bri 73],[Ga174],[Ga179] as part of an analogous division process for power series rings.The following problem arises in using this syzygy algorithm in practice: in (l) can have minimal generators and syzygies in degrees higher than any minimal generator or syzygy of I. In this situation, computations in these higher degrees are unnecessary; one should compute the generators and syzygies of in (1) in only those degrees necessary to find all minimal syzygies of 1. In order to modify the syzygy algorithm to take advantage of this observation, one would like a criterion for determining when all minimal syzygies of I have been found. This problem appears to be intractable at present. However, the question of bounding the degrees of the minimal jth syzygies of I, for all j, is tractable. Recall that I is defined to be m-regular if the jth syzygy module of I is generated in degrees< m+ j, for all j> 0 ([Mum66],[EiGo 84]). The regularity of I, reg (l), is defined to be the least m for which I is m-regular. We have reg (in (1))> reg (I), because regularity is upper-semicontinuous in flat families. When reg (in (I))> reg (I), computations in degrees> reg (l)+ 1 are un-
