Abstract: Let $X$ be an $(mimesn)$-matrix of indeterminates, and let $J$ be the ideal generated by a set $mathcalS$ of maximal minors of $X$. We construct the linear strand of the resolution of $J$. This linear strand is determined by the clique complex of the $m$-clutter corresponding to the set $mathcalS$. As a consequence one obtains explicit formulas for the graded Betti numbers $$ for all $igeq0$. We also determine all sets $mathcalS$ for which $J$ has a linear resolution.

Review text

The authors study ideals generated by an arbitrary set of maximal minors of an \((m \times n)\)-matrix of indeterminates. These ideals have first been studied when \(m=2\), in which case the set of minors (which is a set of binomials) is in bijection with the edges of a graph \(G\) is called the binomial edge ideal of \(G\). When \(m \geq 3\), these ideals are called determinantal facet ideals. Here their generators are in bijection with the facets of a pure simplicial complex of dimension \(m-1\). Let \(X\) be an \((m \times n)\)-matrix of indeterminates, and let \(J\) be the ideal generated by a set \(S\) of maximal minors of \(X\). The authors construct the linear strand of the resolution of \(J\). This linear strand is determined by the clique complex of the \(m\)-clutter corresponding to the set \(S\). The authors then are able to obtain explicit formulas for the graded Betti numbers \(\beta_{i,{i+m}}(J)\) for all \(i \geq 0\). They are also able to determine all sets \(S\) for which \(J\) has a linear resolution. The paper was motivated by a conjecture posed by \textit{D. Kiani} and \textit{S. S. Madani} [Collect. Math. 65, No. 3, 331--340 (2014; Zbl 1317.05196)]. In this paper, the authors not only prove this conjecture but also prove an analogous statement for determinantal facet ideals.
