In algebraic geometry, the Fröberg conjecture is a conjecture about the possible Hilbert functions of a set of forms. It is named after Ralf Fröberg, who introduced it in Fröberg (1985, page 120). The Fröberg–Iarrobino conjecture is a generalization introduced by Anthony Iarrobino (1997).

Given generic homogeneous polynomials ${\displaystyle g_{1},g_{2},\ldots ,g_{k}\in \mathbb {C} [x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n}]}$ of degrees ${\displaystyle a_{1},a_{2},\ldots ,a_{k}}$ resp. Then the Hilbert Series of ${\displaystyle \mathbb {C} [x_{1},x_{2},\ldots ,x_{n}]/\langle g_{1},g_{2},\ldots ,g_{k}\rangle }$ is ${\displaystyle {(1+t+t^{2}+\ldots )^{n}}{(1-t^{a_{1}})(1-t^{a_{2}})\cdots (1-t^{a_{k}})}}$ truncated at its first negative term.
