TL;DR
This paper develops a general framework to compute the minimal free resolution of the residue field $\mathsf{k}$ over a noetherian local ring $R$ from a graded minimal resolution of $\mathsf{k}$ over the Koszul homology algebra $A=\mathrm{H}(K)$. Central to the approach is an iterated mapping cone construction that uses a graded resolution of $\mathsf{k}$ over $A$ and a sequence of complexes $\{\mathsf{C}^{(k)}\}$ with maps $\{\varphi^{(k)}\}$, yielding a minimal free resolution over $R$ with $P^{R}_{\mathsf{k}}(t)=(1+t)^n P^{A}_{\mathsf{k}}(t,t)$. The authors first reformulate complete intersections (class $\mathbf{C}(c)$) within this framework, recovering known CI resolutions and Poincaré series, and then focus on codepth $3$ class $\mathbf{T}$, providing a detailed construction of the graded $A$-resolution and the corresponding $R$-resolution via a tree-like combinatorial scheme. They also present a concrete class $\mathbf{T}$ example to illustrate the explicit Koszul-block description up to degree seven, including the full Betti table and differential maps. The work fills a gap identified in previous classifications by supplying an explicit, implementable description of minimal free resolutions for class $\mathbf{T}$ rings and demonstrates how the $A$-structure governs the overall $R$-resolution.
Abstract
Let $R$ be any noetherian local ring with residue field $k$, and $A$ the homology of the Koszul complex on a minimal set of generators of the maximal ideal of $R$. In this paper, we show that a minimal free resolution of $k$ over $R$ can be obtained from a graded minimal free resolution of $k$ over $A$. More precisely, this is done by the iterated mapping cone construction, introduced by the authors in a previous work, using specific choices of ingredients. As applications, using this general perspective, we exhibit a minimal free resolution of $k$ over a complete intersection ring of any codepth, and explicitly construct a minimal free resolution of $k$ over a noetherian local ring of codepth 3 of class $T$ in terms of Koszul blocks.
