Abstract: Several spectral sequence techniques are used in order to derive information about the structure of finite free resolutions of graded modules. These results cover estimates of the minimal number of generators of defining ideals of projective varieties. There are also investigations about the shifts and the dimension of Betti numbers.


Given a finitely generated graded module \(M\) over a standard graded algebra \(A=K[x_1,\dots, x_r]/I\) with homogeneous maximal ideal \({\mathfrak m}\) and infinite base field \(K\), the author studies relations between the structure of the minimal free \(R= K[x_1,\dots,x_r]\)-resolution of \(M\) and the Koszul homology modules \(H_i(\ell, H_{\mathfrak m}^j(M))\), which he calls the Green modules of \(M\), where \(\ell= (\ell_1,\dots, \ell_r)\) is a system of generic linear forms. Using a certain spectral sequence in Koszul homology, he proves that those Green modules are of finite length, if \(i<r\) or \(j\leq r\). This result is then applied to generalize H. M. Martin's and J. C. Migliore's extension of Dubreil's theorem [cf. \textit{H. M. Martin} and \textit{J. C. Migliore}, ``Submodules of the deficiency modules and an extension of Dubreil's theorem, J. Lond. Math. Soc., II. Ser. (to appear) and \textit{P. Dubreil}, Bull. Soc. Math. Fr. 61, 258-283 (1933; Zbl 0008.12903)], and to prove that the regularity of \(M\) is completely determined by the tail of the resolution via the formula \[ \text{reg}(M)= \max\{\max\{ \text{Tor}_j^R (K,M)_n\neq 0\mid n\in\mathbb{Z}\}-j\mid \text{codim}(M)\leq j\leq r\}. \] The last formula can be viewed as a generalization of M. Green's duality theorem [cf. \textit{M. L. Green}, J. Differ. Geom. 19, 125-171 (1984; Zbl 0559.14008)] and is shown to have interesting geometrical application, e.g. to the Hartshorne-Rao module of a space curve.
