Artin, Tate and Van den Bergh initiated the field of noncommutative projective algebraic geometry by fruitfully studying geometric data associated to noncommutative graded algebras. More specifically, given a field \(\mathbb {K}\) and a graded \(\mathbb {K}\) -algebra \(\varvec{A}\) , they defined an inverse system of projective schemes \(\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}} \varvec{=} \varvec{\{}{\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{d}}\varvec{(A)}}\varvec{\}}\) . This system affords an algebra, \({\textbf{B}}\varvec{(}\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}}\varvec{)}\) , built out of global sections, and a \(\mathbb {K}\) -algebra morphism \(\varvec{\tau }\varvec{:} \varvec{A} \varvec{\rightarrow } {\textbf{B}}\varvec{(}\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}}\varvec{)}\) . We study and extend this construction. We define, for any natural number \(\varvec{n}\) , a category \(\texttt {PSys}^{\varvec{n}}\) of projective systems of schemes and a contravariant functor \({\textbf{B}}\) from \(\texttt {PSys}^{\varvec{n}}\) to the category of associative \(\mathbb {K}\) -algebras. We realize the schemes \({\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{d}}\varvec{(A)}}\) as \(\varvec{\hbox {Proj}\ } {\textbf{U}}_{\varvec{d}}\varvec{(A)}\) , where \({\textbf{U}}_{\varvec{d}}\) is a functor from associative algebras to commutative algebras. We characterize when the morphism \(\varvec{\tau }\varvec{:} \varvec{A} \varvec{\rightarrow } {\textbf{B}}\varvec{(}\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}}\varvec{)}\) is injective or surjective in terms of local cohomology modules of the \({\textbf{U}}_{\varvec{d}}\varvec{(A)}\) . Motivated by work of Walton, when \(\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}}\) consists of well-behaved schemes, we prove a geometric result that computes the Hilbert series of \({\textbf{B}}\varvec{(}\varvec{\Upsilon }_{\varvec{A}}\varvec{)}\) . We provide many detailed examples that illustrate our results. For example, we prove that for some non-AS-regular algebras constructed as twisted tensor products of polynomial rings, \(\varvec{\tau }\) is surjective or an isomorphism.
