Componentwise regularity (I)

We define the notion of componentwise regularity and study some of its basic properties. We prove an analogue, when working with weight orders, of Buchberger's criterion to compute Gröbner bases; the proof of our criterion relies on a strengthening of a lifting lemma of Buchsbaum and Eisenbud. This criterion helps us to show a stronger version of Green's crystallization theorem in a quite general setting, according to the componentwise regularity of the initial object. Finally we show a necessary condition, given a submodule $M$ of a free one over the polynomial ring and a weight such that $in(M)$ is componentwise linear, for the existence of an $i$ such that $β_i(M)=β_i(in(M))$.
