Upper bounds for Betti numbers of multigraded modules

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: This paper gives a sharp upper bound for the Betti numbers of a finitely generated multigraded R-module, where R=Bbbk[x1,...,xm] is the polynomial ring over a field Bbbk in m variables. The bound is given in terms of the rank and the first two Betti numbers of the module. An example is given which achieves these bounds simultaneously in each homological degree. Using Alexander duality, a bound is established for the total multigraded Bass numbers of a finite multigraded module in terms of the first two total multigraded Bass numbers.


The author considers finitely generated \(\mathbb Z^m\)-graded modules over the polynomial ring \(R:=K[x_1,...,x_m]\). She gives a sharp upper bound for the total Betti numbers \(\beta _i(L)\) in terms of \(\beta _0(L),\beta _1(L)\) and the rank of \(L\). She shows that this bound is sharp by giving one example where the Buchsbaum-Rim-Taylor complex is the minimal free resolution of \(L.\) By using Alexander duality on \(\mathbb Z^m\)-graded modules she gives an upper bound for the multigraded Bass-numbers of \(L\) in terms of the first two multigraded Bass-numbers of \(L\).
