Abstract: We prove the subadditivity property for the maximal degrees of the syzygies of facet ideals simplicial forests. For such an ideal I, if the i-th Betti number is nonzero and i=a+b, we show that there are monomials in the lcm lattice of I that are complements in part of the lattice, each supporting a nonvanishing a-th and b-th Betti numbers. The subadditivity formula follows from this observation.


Let \(S=k[x_1,\dots,x_n]\) be the polynomial ring, where \(k\) is a field, and let \(I\) be a graded ideal of \(S\). For an integer \(a\), let \(t_a(I)=\max\{j\mid \beta_{a,j}(S/I)\neq 0\}\). The author says that the degrees of the Betti numbers of \(I\) satisfy the \textit{subadditivity property} if \(t_{a+b}(I)\leq t_a(I)+t_b(I)\), for all \(a,b>0\) with \(a+b\leq p\), where \(p\) is the projective dimension of \(S/I\). In this paper under review, the author proves that the subadditivity property for the maximal degrees of the syzygies of facet ideals of simplicial forests.
