Bounding Helly Numbers via Betti Numbers

We show that very weak topological assumptions are enough to ensure the existence of a Hellytype theorem. More precisely, we show that for any non-negative integers b and d there exists an integer h(b, d) such that the following holds. If F is a finite family of subsets of R such that β̃i ( ⋂G) ≤ b for any G ( F and every 0 ≤ i ≤ dd/2e−1 then F has Helly number at most h(b, d). Here β̃i denotes t...

THE REGULARITY OF TOR AND GRADED BETTI NUMBERS By DAVID EISENBUD, CRAIG HUNEKE and BERND ULRICH

Let S = K[x1, . . . , xn], let A, B be finitely generated graded S-modules, and let m = (x1, . . . , xn) ⊂ S. We give bounds for the regularity of the local cohomology of Tork (A, B) in terms of the graded Betti numbers of A and B, under the assumption that dim Tor1 (A, B) ≤ 1. We apply the results to syzygies, Gröbner bases, products and powers of ideals, and to the relationship of the Rees an...

-betti Numbers

The Atiyah conjecture predicts that the L-Betti numbers of a finite CW -complex with torsion-free fundamental group are integers. We show that the Atiyah conjecture holds (with an additional technical condition) for direct and inverse limits of groups for which it is true. As a corollary it holds for residually torsion-free solvable groups, e.g. for pure braid groups or for positive 1-relator g...

Multiplicities and Reduction Numbers

Let (R,m) be a Cohen–Macaulay local ring and let I be an ideal. There are at least five algebras built on I whose multiplicity data affect the reduction number r(I) of the ideal. We introduce techniques from the Rees algebra theory of modules to produce estimates for r(I), for classes of ideals of dimension one and two. Previous cases of such estimates were derived for ideals of dimension zero.
