Abstract: The canonical sylvan resolution is a resolution for arbitrary monomial ideals over a polynomial ring that is minimal and has an explicit combinatorial formula for the differential. The differential is a weighted sum over lattice paths of weights of chain-link fences, which are sequences of faces that are linked to each other via higher-dimensional analogues of spanning trees. The combinatorial formula for the differential simplifies greatly in the three-variable case. The main results in this paper express the sylvan matrix entries for monomial ideals in three variables as a sum over lattice paths of simpler weights that depend only on the number of specific Koszul simplicial complexes that lie along the corresponding lattice path, which bypasses any computation of chain-link fences.
