On the canonical map to the local cohomology of a Stanley-Reisner ring. (English) Zbl 0741.55013
This paper contains two parts. In the first one, the author gives an example of a Stanley-Reisner ring $$k[\Delta]$$ whose defining ideal is generated by monomials of degree at most 2 and such that the maps $\to F_{i+1}\to F_ i\to F_{i-1}\to\cdots\to F_ 0\to k[\Delta]\to 0,$ in a minimal free resolution of $$k[\Delta]$$ as a module over a polynomial algebra $$A$$, are not represented by matrices with all components of degree at most 2. (A counterexample to a question of Watanabe).
In the second part the author proves that the canonical map $$\hbox{Ext}^ i_ A(k,k[\Delta])\to H^ i_ m(k[\Delta])$$ corresponds to the map induced by the inclusion map of certain subcomplexes of $$\Delta$$.
