ProjectiveHilbertPolynomial -- the class of all Hilbert polynomials

Description

For convenience, these polynomials are expressed in terms of the Hilbert polynomials of projective space.

The functions degree and dim are designed so they correspond the degree and dimension of the algebraic variety that may have been used to produce the Hilbert polynomial.

i1 : Z = Proj(QQ[x_0..x_12]/(x_0^3+x_12^3))

o1 = Z
