for an $n$-gon with vertices at points $1,2,cdots,n$, the betti numbers of its suspension, the simplicial complex that involves two more vertices $n+1$ and $n+2$, is known. in this paper, with a constructive and simple proof, wegeneralize this result to find the minimal free resolution and betti numbers of the $s$-module $s/i$ where  $s=k[x_{1},cdots, x_{n}]$ and $i$ is the associated ideal to ...

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...
