Abstract
We give a combinatorial formula for the Betti numbers which appear in a minimal free resolution of the Stanley-Reisner ring k[Δ(P)] = A/IΔ(P), of the boundary complex Δ(P) of an odd-dimensional cyclic polytope P over a field k. A corollary to the formula is that the Betti number sequence of k[Δ(P)] is unimodal and does not depend on the base field k.
