Abstract

This paper concerns the homological properties of a module M over a ring R relative to a presentation \(R\cong P/I\), where P is local ring. It is proved that the Betti sequence of M with respect to P / (f) for a regular element f in I depends only on the class of f in \(I/\mathfrak {n} I\), where \(\mathfrak {n}\) is the maximal ideal of P. Applications to the theory of supports sets in local algebra and in the modular representation theory of elementary abelian groups are presented.
