Abstract: Suppose $ G$ is a finite group acting on a projective scheme $ X$ over a commutative Noetherian ring $ R$. We study the $ RG$-modules $ \mathrm{H}^0(X,\mathcal{F} \otimes \mathcal{L}^n)$ when $ n \ge 0$, and $ \mathcal{F}$ and $ \mathcal{L}$ are coherent $ G$-sheaves on $ X$ such that $ \mathcal{L}$ is an ample line bundle. We show that the classes of these modules in the Grothendieck group $ G_0(RG)$ of all finitely generated $ RG$-modules lie in a finitely generated subgroup. Under various hypotheses, we show that there is a finite set of indecomposable $ RG$-modules such that each $ \mathrm{H}^0(X,\mathcal{F} \otimes \mathcal{L}^n)$ is a direct sum of these indecomposables, with multiplicities given by generalized Hilbert polynomials for $ n >> 0$.
