Multigraded regularity, \(a^{*}\)-invariant and the minimal free resolution (Q876342): Difference between revisions

The notion of Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity of \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded modules has been extended to multigraded modules over \({\mathbb Z}^k\)-graded rings in two ways: as the multigraded regularity (a set defined by the vanishing of multigraded pieces of local cohomology modules) by \textit{D.~Maclagan} and \textit{G.~Smith} [J. Reine Angew. Math. 571, 179--212 (2004; Zbl 1062.13004)] and as the resolution regularity vector, defined by the multi-degrees in a minimal free resolution of the module by \textit{J.~Sidman} and \textit{A.~van Tuyl} [Beitr. Algebra Geom. 47, No. 1, 67--87 (2006; Zbl 1095.13012)]. This paper investigates the relationship between these two notions and provides a lower and an upper bound containment for multigraded regularity in terms of the resolution regularity vector and other \(\mathbb{Z}\)-graded invariants. The notion of the \(a^{*}\)-invariant is generalized to multigraded modules in different ways: as a set and a vector and is used to examine the vanishing of multigraded pieces of local cohomology modules with respect to different multigraded ideals.
