Call a monomial ideal M "generic" if no variable appears with the same nonzero exponent in two distinct monomial generators. Using a convex polytope first studied by Scarf, we obtain a minimal free resolution of M. Any monomial ideal M can…

Let $\mm=(m_0,...,m_n)$ be an arithmetic sequence, i.e., a sequence of integers $m_0<...<m_n$ with no common factor that minimally generate the numerical semigroup $\sum_{i=0}^{n}m_i\N$ and such that $m_i-m_{i-1}=m_{i+1}-m_i$ for all…

We introduce a new numerical invariant $\gamma_I(M)$ associated to a finite-length $R$-module $M$ and an ideal $I$ in an Artinian local ring $R$. This invariant measures the ratio between $\lambda(IM)$ and $\lambda(M/IM)$. We establish…

Given an arbitrary field k and an arithmetic sequence of positive integers m_0<...<m_n, we consider the affine monomial curve parameterized by X_0=t^{m_0},...,X_n=t^{m_n}. In this paper, we conjecture that the Betti numbers of its…

We define the uniform face ideal of a simplicial complex with respect to an ordered proper vertex colouring of the complex. This ideal is a monomial ideal which is generally not squarefree. We show that such a monomial ideal has a linear…

Let $P$ be a finite partially ordered set with unique minimal element $\hat{0}$. We study the Betti poset of $P$, created by deleting elements $q\in P$ for which the open interval $(\hat{0}, q)$ is acyclic. Using basic simplicial topology,…

The supremum of reduction numbers of ideals having principal reductions is expressed in terms of the integral degree, a new invariant of the ring, which is finite provided the ring has finite integral closure. As a consequence, one obtains…

We introduce and study monomial ideals with regular quotients, which can be seen as an extension of monomial ideals with linear quotients. Based on these investigations, we are able to calculate the Betti numbers of toric ideals belonging…

We discuss extremal Betti tables of resolutions in three different contexts. We begin over the graded polynomial ring, where extremal Betti tables correspond to pure resolutions. We then contrast this behavior with that of extremal Betti…

We demonstrate that the Betti numbers associated to an N-graded minimal free resolution of the Stanley-Reisner ring of the (d-1)-skeleton of a simplicial complex of dimension d can be expressed as a Z-linear combination of the corresponding…

Given a square-free monomial ideal $I$, we define a simplicial complex labeled by the generators of $I^2$ which supports a free resolution of $I^2$. As a consequence, we obtain (sharp) upper bounds on the Betti numbers of the second power…

This paper concerns the study of a class of clutters called simplicial subclutters. Given a clutter $\mathcal{C}$ and its simplicial subclutter $\mathcal{D}$, we compare some algebraic properties and invariants of the ideals $I, J$…

We study simplicial complexes with a given number of vertices whose Stanley-Reisner ring has the minimal possible Betti numbers. We find that these simplicial complexes have very special combinatorial and topological structures. For…

Let $K$ be a field, $V$ a $K$-vector space with basis $e_1,\ldots,e_n$, and $E$ the exterior algebra of $V$. To a given monomial ideal $I\subsetneq E$ we associate a special monomial ideal $J$ with generators in the same degrees as those of…

We study monomial ideals with linear presentation or partially linear resolution. We give combinatorial characterizations of linear presentation for square-free ideals of degree 3, and for primary ideals whose resolutions are linear except…

We classify generalized block graphs whose binomial edge ideals admit a unique extremal Betti number. We prove that the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity of binomial edge ideals of generalized block graphs is bounded below by $m(G)+1$, where…

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…

We determine which simplicial complexes have the maximum or minimum sum of Betti numbers and sum of bigraded Betti numbers with a given number of vertices in each dimension.

We express the multigraded Betti numbers of monomial ideals in 4 variables in terms of the multigraded Betti numbers of 66 squarefree monomial ideals, also in 4 variables. We use this class of 66 ideals to prove that monomial resolutions in…
