Abstract:

In this paper, we will describe the Pascal Type properties of Betti numbers of ideals associated to n -gons. These are quite similar to the properties enjoyed by the Pascal's Triangle, concerning the binomial coefficients. By definition, the Betti numbers β t ( n ) of an ideal I associated to an n -gon are the ranks of the modules in a free minimal resolution of the R -module R / I , where R is the polynomial ring k [ x 1 , x 2 , … , x n ] . Here k is any field and x 1 , x 2 , … , x n are indeterminates. We will prove those properties using a specific formula for the Betti numbers.
