general, very little is known about the Hilbert functions of local rings,even
in dimension 1 case. In the first part of this talk, the preliminaries will be
explained in detail and some open problems will be mentioned, including Rossi's
conjecture, which is open even for Gorenstein local rings corresponding to
monomial curves. In the second part, some partial results supporting Rossi's
conjecture in the monomial curve case will be presented. These results based on
the tool of gluing provide infnitely many families of monomial curves with the
corresponding local Gorenstein rings having nondecreasing Hilbert functions.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
