Abstract

We investigate a class of truncated path algebras in which the Betti numbers of a simple module satisfy a polynomial of arbitrarily large degree. We produce truncated path algebras where the $i$ -th Betti number of a simple module $S$ is $β_{i} (S) = i^{k}$ for $2 \leq k \leq 4$ and provide a result of the existence of algebras where $β_{i} (S)$ is a polynomial of degree 4 or less with nonnegative integer coefficients. In particular, we prove that this class of truncated path algebras produces Betti numbers corresponding to any polynomial in a certain family.
