Vanishing Ideals Of Affine Sets Parameterized By Odd Cycles

Let K be a finite field. Let X* be a subset of the affine space Kn, which is parameterized by odd cycles. In this paper we give an explicit Grobner basis for the vanishing ideal, I(X*), of X*. We give an explicit formula for the regularity of I(X*) and finally if X* is parameterized by an odd cycle of length k, we show that the Hilbert function of the vanishing ideal of X* can be written as linear combination of Hilbert functions of degenerate torus.
