Characterizing certain semidualizing complexes via their Betti and Bass numbers


Abstract in English

It is known that the numerical invariants Betti numbers and Bass numbers are worthwhile tools for decoding a large amount of information about modules over commutative rings. We highlight this fact, further, by establishing some criteria for certain semidualizing complexes via their Betti and Bass numbers. Two distinguished types of semidualizing complexes are the shifts of the underlying rings and dualizing complexes. Let $C$ be a semidualizing complex for an analytically irreducible local ring $R$ and set $n:=sup C$ and $d:=dim_RC$. We show that $C$ is quasi-isomorphic to a shift of $R$ if and only if the $n$th Betti number of $C$ is one. Also, we show that $C$ is a dualizing complex for $R$ if and only if the $d$th Bass number of $C$ is one.
