Betti numbers of skeletons of a class of squarefree monomial rings with l,inear resolution

Ralf Fröberg

Abstract

The starting point is the class of the following simplicial complexes $Δ$ with 2-linear resolutions. The facets of $Δ$ are $F_1,\ldots,F_n$, and we demand that for each $i$ $F_i\cap (F_1\cup \cdots\cup F_{i-1}\cup F_{i+1}\cdots\cup F_n)$ be a point. We will determine the Betti numbers, and thus the projective dimension, the depth, and the regularity of the Stanley-Reisner rings of all skeletons of such complexes. It follows that we know when these complexes are Cohen-Macaulay. Also, there are two ways to determine the Hilbert series of $Δ$, giving sequences of identities for binomial coefficients.

Key Result

Lemma 1.1

If $\Sigma$ is a simplicial complex with $f$-vector $(1,f_0,f_1,\ldots,f_d)$, then the Hilbert series of $k[\Sigma]$ is $1+f_0t/(1-t)+f_1t^2/(1-t)^2+\cdots+f_dt^{d+1}/(1-t)^{d+1}$.
