Betti numbers of modules of essentially monomial type

From MaRDI portal





Let \({\mathbf u}=u_1, \dots,u_n\) be indeterminates. A finite subset \(T\) of monomials in \({\mathbf u}\) is called an \({\mathbf u}\)-segment if \(f\), \(h\in T\) and \(f|g\), \(g|h\) implies \(g\in T\). Let \({\mathbf x}=x_1, \dots,x_n\) be a regular sequence in a local ring \(R\), \(T\) a \({\mathbf u}\)-segment with \(|T|=l\), and \(F\) a free \(R\)-module of rank \(l\) with basis \(\{w_f;f\in T\}\). A module \(F/N\), where \(N\) is generated by \(\{x_kw_f- w_{u_kf}; f\in T,\;u_kf\in T\}\cup \{x_kw_f; f\in T,\;u_kf\notin T\}\) is called a module of essentially monomial type. Free resolutions for such modules are described, which gives the main results of the paper: If \(M\) is a module of essentially monomial type with respect to an \(R\)-sequence of length \(n\), then \(r_i(M)\geq {n-1 \choose i-1}\) and \(\beta_i(M)\geq {n\choose i}\), where \(r_i(M)\) is the rank of the \(i\)th syzygy module of \(M\) and \(\beta_i(M)\) is the \(i\)th Betti number of \(M\). Examples of modules of essentially monomial type are \(R/I\), where \(\sqrt I=\sqrt{(x_1, \dots,x_n)}\) for some \(R\)-sequence \({\mathbf x}\), in particular if \(I=(x_1,\dots, x_n)^t\).
