Abstract

We use discrete Morse theory to study free resolutions of monomial ideals in combination with splitting techniques. We establish the minimality of such pruned resolutions for several classes of ideals, including stable and linear quotient ideals. In particular, we unify classical constructions such as the Eliahou-Kervaire and Herzog-Takayama resolutions within the pruned resolution framework. Additionally, we introduce methods to reduce the minimality study of a pruned resolution for an ideal to that of a smaller subideal and present a variant of our pruned resolution for powers of monomial ideals.
