Let $R$ be a standard graded algebra over an $F$-finite field of characteristic $p > 0$. Let $\phi:R\to R$ be the Frobenius endomorphism. For each finitely generated graded $R$-module $M$, let ${}^{\phi}\!M$ be the abelian group $M$ with…

This article concerns linear parts of minimal resolutions of finitely generated modules over commutative local, or graded rings. The focus is on the linearity defect of a module, which marks the point after which the linear part of its…

In this work, we prove that if a graded, commutative algebra $R$ over a field $k$ is not Koszul then, denoting by $\mathfrak{m}$ the maximal homogeneous ideal of $R$ and by $M$ a finitely generated graded $R$-module, the nonzero modules of…

Let A be a noetherian AS regular Koszul quiver algebra (if A is commutative, it is essentially a polynomial ring), and grA the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. Following Jorgensen, we define the Castelnuovo-Mumford…

Let $d \in \N$ and let $M$ be a finitely generated graded module of dimension $\leq d$ over a Noetherian homogeneous ring $R$ with local Artinian base ring $R_0$. Let $\beg(M)$, $\gendeg(M)$ and $\reg(M)$ respectively denote the beginning,…

Let A be a Koszul algebra, and $mod A$ the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. The "linearity defect" ld_A(M) of $M \in mod A$ is an invariant defined by Herzog and Iyengar. An exterior algebra E is a Koszul algebra which…

Numerical invariants of a minimal free resolution of a module $M$ over a regular local ring $(R,\n)$ can be studied by taking advantage of the rich literature on the graded case. The key is to fix suitable $\n$-stable filtrations ${\mathbb…

In this article we extend a previous definition of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for modules over an algebra graded by a finitely generated abelian group. Our notion of regularity is based on Maclagan and Smith's definition, and is…

Let $R=\oplus_{i\in \N_0}R_n$ be a standard graded ring, $R_+ :=\oplus_{i\in \N}R_n$ be the irrelevant ideal of $R$ and $\fa_0$ be an ideal of $R_0$. In this paper, as a generalization of the concept of Castelnouvo-Mumford regularity…

This is a survey paper on commutative Koszul algebras and Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. We describe several techniques to establish the Koszulness of algebras. We discuss variants of the Koszul property such as strongly Koszul, absolutely…

We develop a multigraded variant of Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity. Motivated by toric geometry, we work with modules over a polynomial ring graded by a finitely generated abelian group. As in the standard graded case, our definition of…

Let S = k[x_1,...,x_n] be a Z^r-graded ring with deg (x_i) = a_i \in Z^r for each i and suppose that M is a finitely generated Z^r-graded S-module. In this paper we describe how to find finite subsets of Z^r containing the multidegrees of…

This article is concerned with graded modules M with linear resolutions over a standard graded algebra R. It is proved that if such an M has Hilbert series $H_M(s)$ of the form $ps^d+qs^{d+1}$, then the algebra R is Koszul; if, in addition,…

Bounds on the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of the associated graded modules of k-Buchsbaum modules M are given in terms of k and some other invariants of M.

Let M be a finitely generated ZZ-graded module over the standard graded polynomial ring R=K[X_1, ..., X_n] with K a field, and let H_M(t)=Q_M(t)/(1-t)^d be the Hilbert series of M. We introduce the Hilbert regularity of M as the lowest…

The Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of a module gives a rough measure of its complexity. We bound the regularity of a module given a system of approximating modules whose regularities are known. Such approximations can arise naturally for…

When M is a finitely generated graded module over a standard graded algebra S and I is an ideal of S, it is known from work of Cutkosky, Herzog, Kodiyalam, R\"omer, Trung and Wang that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of I^mM has the form…

This work concerns the linearity defect of a module $M$ over a noetherian local ring $R$, introduced by Herzog and Iyengar in 2005, and denoted by $\text{ld}_R M$. Roughly speaking, $\text{ld}_R M$ is the homological degree beyond which the…

The structure of minimal free resolutions of finite modules M over commutative local rings (R,m,k) with m^3=0 and rank_k(m^2) < rank_k(m/m^2)is studied. It is proved that over generic R every M has a Koszul syzygy module. Explicit families…

For a finitely generated graded module $M$ over a positively-graded commutative Noetherian ring $R$, the second author established in 1999 some restrictions, which can be formulated in terms of the Castelnuovo regularity of $M$ or the…
