Let M, N be finite modules over a Noetherian local ring R. We show that the bigraded Hilbert series of gr(Tor(R)(M, N)) is obtained from that of Tor(gr(R))(gr(M), gr(N)) by negative consecutive cancellations, thus extending a theorem of Rossi and Sharifan. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
