Abstract: We define a set of invariants of a homogeneous ideal $I$ in a polynomial ring called the symmetric iterated Betti numbers of $I$. For $I_{Gamma}$, the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex $Gamma$, these numbers are the symmetric counterparts of the exterior iterated Betti numbers of $Gamma$ introduced by Duval and Rose. We show that the symmetric iterated Betti numbers of an ideal $I$ coincide with those of a particular reverse lexicographic generic initial ideal $Gin(I)$ of $I$, and interpret these invariants in terms of the associated primes and standard pairs of $Gin(I)$. We verify that for an ideal $I=I_{G}amma$ the extremal Betti numbers of $I_{G}amma$ are precisely the extremal (symmetric or exterior) iterated Betti numbers of $Gamma$. We close with some results and conjectures about the relationship between symmetric and exterior iterated Betti numbers of a simplicial complex.

Review text

The authors define, for any homogeneous ideal \(I\) in a polynomial ring, the symmetric iterated Betti numbers of \(I\). When \(I=I_{\Gamma}\) is the Stanley-Reisner ideal of a simplicial complex \(\Gamma\), the authors prove, using commutative algebra methods, that the symmetric iterated Betti numbers of \(I_{\Gamma}\) are the symmetric counterparts of the exterior iterated Betti numbers of \(\Gamma\) [see \textit{A. M. Duval} and \textit{L. L. Rose}, J. Algebr. Comb. 12, No.~3, 279--294 (2000; Zbl 0981.55010)] and that the exterior iterated Betti numbers of \(I_{\Gamma}\) are precisely the exterior iterated Betti numbers of \(\Gamma\). \noindent The authors give at the end of the paper some conjectures relating symmetric and exterior iterated Betti numbers.
