Minimal free resolutions of graded modules over a noetherian polynomial ring have been attractive objects of interest for more than a hundred years. We introduce and study two natural extensions in the setting of graded modules over a…
The most fundamental complexes of free modules over a commutative ring are the Koszul complex, which is constructed from a vector (i.e., a 1-tensor), and the Eagon-Northcott and the Buchsbaum-Rim complexes, which are constructed from a…
We formulate a conjecture on the behavior of the minimal free resolutions of sets of general points on arbitrary varieties embedded by complete linear series, in analogy with the well-known Minimal Resolution Conjecture for points in…
Let $A=K[a_1,\ldots,a_n]$ be a weighted $\mathbb{N}$-filtered solvable polynomial algebra with filtration $FA=\{ F_pA\}_{p\in\mathbb{N}}$, where solvable polynomial algebras are in the sense of (A. Kandri-Rody and V. Weispfenning,…
If $M$ is the complement of a hyperplane arrangement, and $A=H^*(M,\k)$ is the cohomology ring of $M$ over a field of characteristic 0, then the ranks, $\phi_k$, of the lower central series quotients of $\pi_1(M)$ can be computed from the…
Under reasonable assumptions, a group action on a module extends to the minimal free resolutions of the module. Explicit descriptions of these actions can lead to a better understanding of free resolutions by providing, for example,…
We classify (up to quasi-isomorphism) the free differential modules whose homology is equal to a given module $M$ by developing a theory for deforming an arbitrary free complex into a differential module. We use an iterative approach to…
We survey recent results on bounds for Betti numbers of modules over polynomial rings, with an emphasis on lower bounds. Along the way, we give a gentle introduction to free resolutions and Betti numbers, and discuss some of the reasons why…
Let I(G) be the edge ideal associated to a simple graph G. We study the graded Betti numbers that appear in the linear strand of the minimal free resolution of I(G).
In this thesis we investigate certain types of monomial ideals of polynomial rings over fields. We are interested in minimal free resolutions of these ideals (or equivalently the quotients of the polynomial ring by the ideals) considered as…
Given $\Sigma\subset\mathbb K[x_1,\ldots,x_k]$, any finite collection of linear forms, some possibly proportional, and any $1\leq a\leq |\Sigma|$, it has been conjectured that $I_a(\Sigma)$, the ideal generated by all $a$-fold products of…
We introduce a squarefree monomial ideal associated to the set of domino tilings of a $2\times n$ rectangle and proceed to study the associated minimal free resolution. In this paper, we use results of Dalili and Kummini to show that the…
Let $\Delta$ be simplicial complex and let $k[\Delta]$ denote the Stanley--Reisner ring corresponding to $\Delta$. Suppose that $k[\Delta]$ has a pure free resolution. Then we describe the Betti numbers and the Hilbert--Samuel multiplicity…
We present a robust categorical foundation for the duality theory introduced by Eisenbud and Schreyer to prove the Boij-S\"oderberg conjectures describing numerical invariants of syzygies. The new foundation allows us to extend the reach of…
We define a filtration indexed by the integers on the tensor product of an integrable highest weight module and a loop module for a quantum affine algebra. We prove that the filtration is either trivial or strictly decreasing and give…
Let $I$ be a monomial ideal in two variables generated by three monomials and let $\mathcal{R}(I)$ be its Rees ideal. We describe an algorithm to compute the minimal generating set of $\mathcal{R}(I)$. Based on the data obtained by this…
What are the subcomplexes of a free resolution? This question is simple to state, but the naive approach leads to a computational quagmire that is infeasible even in small cases. In this paper, we invoke the Bernstein--Gelfand--Gelfand…
An explicit construction is given of a minimal free resolution of the ideal generated by all squarefree monomials of a given degree. The construction relies upon and exhibits the natural action of the symmetric group on the syzygy modules.…
Let $\mathbb{K}$ be a field and $A$ a Noetherian $\mathbb{K}$-algebra. In a paper of 2020, M. Albert, C. Bertone, M. Roggero and W. M. Seiler proved that, given a quasi-stable module $U \subset R^m$ with $R=\mathbb{K}[x_0,\dots,x_n]$, any…
