We show that Jn, the Stanley-Reisner ideal of the n-cycle, has a free resolution supported on the (n−3)-dimensional simplicial associahedron An. This resolution is not minimal for n > 6; in this case the Betti numbers of Jn are strictly smaller than the f -vector of An. We show that in fact the Betti numbers βd of Jn are in bijection with the number of standard Young tableaux of shape (d + 1, 2...
