For an ideal I in a regular local ring or a graded ideal I in the polynomial ring we study the limiting behavior of betai(S/Ik)= dimK ToriS(S/m, S/Ik) as k goes to infinity. By Kodiyalam's result it is known that betai(S/Ik) is a polynomial for large k. We call these polynomials the Kodiyalam polynomials and encode the limiting behavior in their generating polynomial. It is shown that the limiting behavior depends only on the coefficients on the Kodiyalam polynomials in the highest possible degree. For these we exhibit lower bounds in special cases and conjecture that the bounds are valid in general. We also show that the Kodiyalam polynomials have weakly descending degrees and identify a situation where the polynomials have all highest possible degree. Joint work with J. Herzog.
