Perfect modules with Betti numbers (2,6,5,1) (Q2118937)

In the paper under review, the author studies structure theorems about finite free resolutions in commutative algebra. More precisely, it is about resolutions of perfect modules of Betti number format \((b_3,b_2,b_1,b_0) = (2, 6, 5, 1)\). \textit{E. Celikbas} et al. [Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 148, No. 7, 2745--2755 (2020; Zbl 1459.13012)] exhibited an interesting family of perfect ideals of codimension three, with five generators, of Cohen-Macaulay type two, with trivial multiplication on the Tor algebra. All previously known perfect ideals of similar kind had been found by \textit{A. E. Brown} [J. Algebra 105, 308--327 (1987; Zbl 0624.13010)]. Brown's ideals all have non-trivial multiplication on the Tor algebra. The author proves that all of the ideals of Brown are obtained from the ideals of Celikbas, Laxmi, Kraśkiewicz and Weyman by (non-homogeneous) specialization. This provides an affirmative answer to a question posed by Jerzy Weyman at the ``Structure of length 3 resolutions workshop'' at the University of California, San Diego in August 2019. The author also proves that both families of ideals, when built using power series variables over a field, define rigid algebras in the sense of Lichtenbaum and Schlessinger.
