Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity for complexes and weakly Koszul modules

Let A be a noetherian AS regular Koszul quiver algebra (if A is commutative, it is essentially a polynomial ring), and grA the category of finitely generated graded left A-modules. Following Jorgensen, we define the Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity reg(X) of a complex X \in D^b(grA) in terms of the local cohomologies or the minimal projective resolution of X. Let A^! be the quadratic dual ring of A. For the Koszul duality functor DG : D^b(grA) -> D^b(grA^!), we have reg(X) = max {i | H^i(DG (X)) \ne 0}. Using these concepts, we study weakly Koszul modules (= componentwise linear modules) over A^!. As an application, refining a result of Herzog and Roemer, we show that if J is a monomial ideal of an exterior algebra E= \bigwedge with d \geq 3, then the (d-2)nd syzygy of E/J is weakly Koszul.Comment: 21 pages, to appear in J.

Dualizing complex of the face ring of a simplicial poset

A finite poset $P$ is called "simplicial", if it has the smallest element $\hat{0}$, and every interval $[\hat{0}, x]$ is a boolean algebra. The face poset of a simplicial complex is a typical example. Generalizing the Stanley-Reisner ring of a simplicial complex, Stanley assigned the graded ring $A_P$ to $P$. This ring has been studied from both combinatorial and topological perspective. In this paper, we will give a concise description of a dualizing complex of $A_P$, which has many applications.Comment: 16 pages. Simplified the proof of the main theorem. Added the remark that a theorem of Murai-Terai also holds for simplicial posets
