Graded Betti numbers of powers of ideals (Q2188697)

In the paper under review, the authors investigate the asymptotic behaviour of graded Betti numbers of powers of homogeneous ideals in a polynomial ring over a field. More precisely, they prove that if the polynomial ring is equipped with a positive \(\mathbb{Z}^d\)-grading, then the Betti numbers of powers of ideals are encoded by finitely many polynomials. In particular, for \(d=1\) this result states that there is a decomposition of \(\mathbb{Z}^2\) in a finite number of regions such that for each region there is a polynomial in \(\mu\) and \(t\) that computes \(\dim_k (Tor_i^S(I^t,k))_\mu \). This refines, in a graded situation, the result of [\textit{V. Kodiyalam}, Proc. Am. Math. Soc. 118, No. 3, 757--764 (1993; Zbl 0780.13007)] on Betti numbers of powers of ideals. More generally, the authors investigate the case of a power products of homogeneous ideals \(I_1,\ldots,I_s\) in a \(\mathbb{Z}^d\)-graded algebra, for a positive grading.
