Burch index, summands of syzygies and linearity in resolutions

Commutative Algebra 2023-01-18 v2

Abstract

The Burch index is a new invariant of a local ring RR whose positivity implies a kind of linearity in resolutions of RR-modules. For example, if RR has depth zero and Burch index at least 22, then any non-free 7th RR-syzygy contains the residue field as a direct summand. We also compute the Burch index in various cases of interest.
