Let R = k[x1, ..., xn] be the polynomial ring in n independent variables, where k is a field. In this work we will study Bass numbers of local cohomology modules H I (R) supported on a squarefree monomial ideal I ⊆ R. Among them we are mainly interested in Lyubeznik numbers. We build a dictionary between the modules H I (R) and the minimal free resolution of the Alexander dual ideal I∨ that all...
