Abstract: We prove that multigraded Betti numbers of a simplicial forest are always either 0 or 1. Moreover a nonzero multidegree appears exactly at one homological degree in the resolution. Our work generalizes work of Bouchat on edge ideals of graph forests.

Review text

\textit{R. R. Bouchat} [J. Commut. Algebra 2, No. 1, 1--35 (2010; Zbl 1238.13028)] showed that the edge ideal of a tree graph can only have 0 and 1 as its multigraded Betti numbers. This is not a property held by arbitrary ideals. The authors of the present article generalize Bouchat's result to facet ideals of simplicial forests, i.e., simplicial complexes that admit a leaf decomposition analogous to that of leaves of a tree graph.
