In this paper we prove parts of a conjecture of Herzog giving lower bounds on the rank of the free modules appearing in the linear strand of a graded $k$-th syzygy module over the polynomial ring. If in addition the module is…

Let $M$ be a finitely generated module over a local ring $(R,\mathfrak{m})$. By $\mathcal{S}_j(M)$, we denote the $j$th symmetric power of $M$ ($j$th graded component of the symmetric algebra $\mathcal{S}_R(M)$). The purpose of this paper…

The Buchsbaum-Eisenbud-Horrocks Conjecture predicts that if M is a non-zero module of finite length and finite projective dimension over a local ring R of dimension d, then the i-th Betti number of M is at least d choose i. This conjecture…

Boij-S\"oderberg theory gives a combinatorial description of the set of Betti tables belonging to finite length modules over the polynomial ring $S = k[x_1, \ldots, x_n]$. We posit that a similar combinatorial description can be given for…

Let S=K[X_1,...,X_n] be the polynomial ring over a field K. For bounded below Z^n-graded S-modules M and N we show that if Tor^S_p(M,N) is nonzero, then for every i between 0 and p, the dimension of the K-vector space Tor^S_i(M,N) is at…

We study two long-standing conjectures concerning lower bounds for the Betti numbers of a graded module over a polynomial ring. We prove new cases of these conjectures in codimensions five and six by reframing the conjectures as arithmetic…

We study $h$-vectors and graded Betti numbers of level modules up to multiplication by a rational number. Assuming a conjecture on the possible graded Betti numbers of Cohen-Macaulay modules we get a description of the possible $h$-vectors…

The socle of a graded Buchsbaum module is studied and is related to its local cohomology modules. This algebraic result is then applied to face enumeration of Buchsbaum simplicial complexes and posets. In particular, new necessary…

Suppose that $M$ is a finitely-generated graded module of codimension $c\geq 3$ over a polynomial ring and that the regularity of $M$ is at most $2a-2$ where $a\geq 2$ is the minimal degree of a first syzygy of $M$. Then we show that the…

Boij-S\"{o}derberg Theory views the Betti diagrams of graded modules over polynomial rings as vectors in a rational vector space, and studies the cone that these vectors generate (called a 'Betti Cone'). The objects of study in this paper…

The recent proof of the Boij-Soederberg conjectures reveals new structure about Betti diagrams of modules, giving a complete description of the cone of Betti diagrams. We begin to expand on this new structure by investigating the semigroup…

We use Boij-S\"oderberg theory to give two lower bounds for the dimension of the cohomology of a finite CW-complex in terms of the toral rank and certain Betti numbers of the space. One of our bounds turns out to be particularly effective…

The main goal of this paper is to size up the minimal graded free resolution of a homogeneous ideal in terms of its generating degrees. By and large, this is too ambitious an objective. As understood, sizing up means looking closely at the…

This paper gives a sharp upper bound for the Betti numbers of a finitely generated multigraded $R$-module, where $R=\Bbbk [x_{1},...,x_{m}]$ is the polynomial ring over a field $\Bbbk$ in $m$ variables. The bound is given in terms of the…

We give conjectures on the possible graded Betti numbers of Cohen-Macaulay modules up to multiplication by positive rational numbers. The idea is that the Betti diagrams should be non-negative linear combinations of pure diagrams. The…

Mats Boij and Jonas Soederberg (math.AC/0611081) have conjectured that the Betti table of a Cohen-Macaulay module over a polynomial ring can be decomposed in a certain way as a positive linear combination of Betti tables of modules with…

Over a regular local ring of dimension two with maximal ideal m, we study the Buchsbaum-Rim multiplicity of a finitely generated module M of finite colength in a free module F. First, we investigate the colength of an m-primary ideal and…

In their paper on multiplicity bounds (1998), Herzog and Srinivasan study the relationship between the graded Betti numbers of a homogeneous ideal I in a polynomial ring R and the degree of I. For certain classes of ideals, they prove a…

Boij-S\"oderberg theory concerns resolutions of graded modules over a polynomial ring over a field. Specifically Boij-S\"oderberg theory gives a description of the cone of Betti diagrams for Cohen-Macaulay modules. Eisenbud and Schreyer…

We introduce to the context of multigraded modules the methods of modules over categories from algebraic topology and homotopy theory. We develop the basic theory quite generally, with a view toward future applications to a wide class of…
