tExtremalBettiMonomials -- give the list of the t-spread basic monomials related to the given extremal Betti numbers configuration

Synopsis

Description

let $S=K[x_1,\ldots,x_n]$ be a polynomial ring over a field $K$ and let I a graded ideal of $S$. A graded Betti number of the ideal $\beta_{k,k+\ell}(I)\ne 0$ is called extremal if $\beta_{i,i+j}(I)=0$ for all $i\ge k,j\ge\ell,(i,j)\ne(k,\ell).$
The basic monomials related to an extremal Betti number configuration (values as well as positions) are defined by the following characterization. Let $I$ be a $t$-spread strongly stable ideal of S and let $\beta_{k,k+\ell}(I)$ be an extremal Betti number of $I$. Then $\beta_{k,k+\ell}(I)=\Big|\Big\{ u\in G(I)_\ell:\max(u)=k+t(\ell-1)+1 \Big\}\Big|.$
Let $\beta_{k,k+\ell}(I)$ be an extremal Betti number of I, the pair $(k,\ell)$ is called a corner of I. If $(k_1,\ell_1),\dots,(k_r,\ell_r)$, with $n-1\ge k_1>k_2>\dots>k_r\ge1 \text{ and } 1\le \ell_1<\ell_2<\dots<\ell_r$, are all the corners of a graded ideal I of $S$, the set $\mathrm{Corn}(I)=\Big\{(k_1,\ell_1),(k_2,\ell_2),\dots,(k_r,\ell_r)\Big\}$ is called the corner sequence of I.
We recall that I has a minimal graded free $S$ resolution:$ F_{\scriptscriptstyle\bullet}:0\rightarrow \bigoplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}S(-j)^{\beta_{r,j}}\rightarrow \cdots\rightarrow \bigoplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}S(-j)^{\beta_{1,j}}\rightarrow \bigoplus_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}S(-j)^{\beta_{0,j}}\rightarrow I\rightarrow 0.$
The integer $\beta_{i,j}$ is a graded Betti number of I and it represents the dimension as a $K$-vector space of the $j$-th graded component of the $i$-th free module of the resolution. Each of the numbers $\beta_i=\sum_{j\in\mathbb{Z}}\beta_{i,j}$ is called the $i$-th Betti number of I.
