Title

Betti tables over short Gorenstein algebras

Abstract

Let k be a field and R a short, standard-graded Gorenstein k-algebra with embedding dimension e > 2. (Thus the Hilbert series of R is 1+es+s^2 .) The category of finitely generated graded R-modules has wild representation type, but much of the representation theory of the category is revealed by the Betti tables of modules. The additive semigroup B of all Betti tables of R-modules is atomic but very far from being factorial. We will show how the atoms of B arise as Betti tables of cosyzygies of ideals of R and describe some specific relations among these atoms. This is joint work with Lucho Avramov and Courtney Gibbons.
