Title

Multiplicative structures on minimal free resolutions of monomial ideals

Abstract

The minimal free resolution of a quotient of the polynomial ring admits a (generally non-associative) multiplication which satisfies the Leibniz rule. This multiplication is far from being unique and in favorable cases it can be chosen to be associative, which turns the resolution into a DGA. In this talk, I consider these multiplicative structures in the setting of monomial ideals. On the one hand, I will present some structure theorems about these multiplications, and on the other hand, I will show that the presence of an associative multiplication has implications on the possible Betti numbers of the ideal.
