Characterizing Multigraded Regularity and Virtual Resolutions on Products of Projective Spaces

Juliette Bruce, Lauren Cranton Heller, Mahrud Sayrafi

Abstract

We explore the relationship between multigraded Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity, truncations, Betti numbers, and virtual resolutions on a product of projective spaces $X$. After proving a uniqueness theorem for certain minimal virtual resolutions, we show that the multigraded regularity region of a module $M$ is determined by the minimal graded free resolutions of the truncations $M_{\geq\mathbf d}$ for $\mathbf d\in\operatorname{Pic} X$. Further, by relating the minimal graded free resolutions of $M$ and $M_{\geq\mathbf d}$ we provide a new bound on multigraded regularity of $M$ in terms of its Betti numbers. Using this characterization of regularity and this bound we also compute the multigraded Castelnuovo--Mumford regularity for a wide class of complete intersections in products of projective spaces.

Key Result

Theorem A

Let $M$ be a finitely generated $\mathds{Z}^r$-graded $S$-module with $H_B^0(M) = 0$. Then $M$ is $\mathbf d$-regular if and only if $M_{\geq\mathbf d}$ has a quasilinear resolution $F_\bullet$ with $F_0$ generated in degree $\mathbf d$.
