Betti numbers and almost complete intersection monomial ideals (2505.18788v1)

Abstract: Let $R=K[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ be the polynomial ring in $n$ variables over a field $K$ and let $I$ be a monomial ideal of $R$. In this paper, we present an explicit formula for the Betti numbers of almost complete intersection monomial ideals, which enables a rapid construction of their minimal free resolutions. In addition, we characterize the Cohen-Macaulayness of these ideals and also we show the same result for dominant monomial ideals.
