Let R be a commutative noetherian ring. Let M be a finitely generated
R-module. In this paper, we reconstruct M from its Koszul homology with respect
to a suitable sequence of elements of R by taking direct summands, syzygies and
extensions, and count the number of those operations. Using this result, we
consider generation and classification of certain subcategories of the category
of finitely generated R-modules, its bounded derived category and the
singularity category of R.Comment: 14 pages, final version, to appear in Pacific J. Mat
