Abstract

We show that for maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules over a homogeneous coordinate rings of smooth Calabi-Yau varieties XX computation of Betti numbers can be reduced to computations of dimensions of certain Hom\operatorname{Hom} groups in the bounded derived category Db(X)D^b(X). In the simplest case of a smooth elliptic curve EE imbedded into P2\mathbb{P}^2 as a smooth cubic we use our formula to get explicit answers for Betti numbers. Description of the automorphism group of the derived category Db(E)D^b(E) in terms of the spherical twist functors of Seidel and Thomas plays a major role in our approach. We show that there are only four possible shapes of the Betti tables up to a shifts in internal degree, and two possible shapes up to a shift in internal degree and taking syzygies.
