This thesis is a study of various ways of measuring the size and complexity of finitely generated modules over a Noetherian local ring. The classical example is the multiplicity or degree. Here we investigate several variants of the degree…

We provide upper bounds for logarithmic torsion homology growth and Betti number growth of groups, phrased in the language of measured group theory.

We show that if a group G is finitely presented and nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite, then there is an upper bound on the first betti number of M as M runs through all subgroups of finite index in G.

Let X be a k-dimensional simplicial complex such that the (k-j-2)-dimensional homology of the links of all j-dimensional simplices in X vanishes. An upper bound is given on the (k-1)-th Betti number of X. Examples based on sum complexes…

We give an alternate proof for a theorem of Migliore and Nagel. In particular, we show that if $\mathcal H$ is an SI-sequence, then the collection of Betti diagrams for all Artinian Gorenstein $k$-algebras with the weak Lefschetz property…

We construct the first linear strand of the minimal free resolutions of edge ideals of $d$-partite $d$-uniform clutters. We show that the first linear strand is supported on a relative simplicial complex. In the case that the edge ideals of…

The Taylor resolution is almost never minimal for powers of monomial ideals, even in the square-free case. In this paper we introduce a smaller resolution for each power of any square-free monomial ideal, which depends only on the number of…

Let $R$ be a Cohen-Macaulay local ring possessing a canonical module. We compare the initial and terminal Betti numbers of modules in a series of nontrivial cases. We pay special attention to the Betti numbers of the canonical module. Also,…

The Leray number of an abstract simplicial complex is the minimal integer $d$ where its induced subcomplexes have trivial homology groups in dimension $d$ or greater. We give an upper bound on the Leray number of a complex in terms of how…

What can be said about the subalgebras of the polynomial ring, with minimal or maximal Hilbert function? This question was discussed in a recent paper by M. Boij and A. Conca. In this paper we study the subalgebras generated in degree two…

Bounds for the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity and Hilbert coefficients are given in terms of the arithmetic degree (if the ring is reduced) or in terms of the defining degrees. From this it follows that there exists only a finite number of…

Let $I \subset k[x_1, \dotsc, x_n]$ be a squarefree monomial ideal a polynomial ring. In this paper we study multiplications on the minimal free resolution $\mathbb{F}$ of $k[x_1, \dotsc, x_n]/I$. In particular, we characterize the possible…

By defining a fat point subscheme of $P^2$ to be a 0-dimensional subscheme defined by a sheaf of integrally closed ideals one extends the notion of fat point subschemes to allow infinitely near points. With this notion of fat points, this…

In spite of the Lebesgue density theorem, there is a positive $\delta$ such that, for every non-trivial measurable set $S$ of real numbers, there is a point at which both the lower densities of $S$ and of the complement of $S$ are at least…

We study the problem of maximizing Betti numbers of simplicial complexes. We prove an upper bound of 1.32^n for the sum of Betti numbers of any n-vertex flag complex and 1.25^n for the independence complex of a triangle-free graph. These…

This paper gives new bounds on the first Hilbert coefficient of an ideal of finite colength in a Cohen-Macaulay local ring. The bound given is quadratic in the multiplicity of the ideal. We compare our bound to previously known bounds, and…

In this paper we study minimal free resolutions of some classes of monomial ideals. we first give a sufficient condition to check the minimality of the resolution obtained by the mapping cone. Using it, we obtain the Betti numbers of…

Let $G$ be a cycle or a complete bipartite graph. We show that the binomial edge ideal $J_{G}$ and its initial ideal with respect to the lexicographic order have the same extremal Betti number.

Let $(R,\frak{m})$ be a $d$-dimensional Cohen-Macaulay local ring, $I$ an $\frak{m}$-primary ideal and $J$ a minimal reduction of $I$. In this paper we study the independence of reduction ideals and the behavior of the higher Hilbert…

We compute one of the distinguished extremal Betti number of the binomial edge ideal of a block graph, and classify all block graphs admitting precisely one extremal Betti number.
