Title:    Bounds for Betti Numbers of Multigraded Modules

Abstract

Let k be a field and give R = k [x_{1}, …, x_{m}] the usual Z^{m} grading. Suppose that L is a Noetherian multigraded R-module. We will discuss some relevant components of a construction by Tchernev that gives a free multigraded resolution of L from a minimal free finite presentation. We will see how these components give upper bounds for the Betti numbers of L in each homological degree and give an example where these bounds are simultaneously achieved.
