Abstract
For a simplicial complex , the graded Betti number of the Stanley-Reisner ring over a field has a combinatorial interpretation due to Hochster. Terai and Hibi showed that if is the boundary complex of a -dimensional stacked polytope with vertices for , then . We prove this combinatorially.
