Abstract

Let P(v, d) be a stacked d-polytope with v vertices, Δ(P(v,d)) the boundary complex of P(v,d), and k[Δ(P(v,d))] = A/IΔ(P(v,d)) the Stanley-Reisner ring of Δ(P(v,d)) over a field k. We compute the Betti numbers which appear in a minimal free resolution of k[Δ(P(v,d))] over A, and show that every Betti number depends only on v and d and is independent of the base field k. We also show that the Betti number sequences above are unimodal.
