Abstract

Let R and S be polynomial rings of positive dimensions over a field k. Let I ⊆ R, J ⊆ S be non-zero homogeneous ideals none of which contains a linear form. Denote by F the fiber product of I and J in T = R ⊗kS. We compute homological invariants of the powers of F using the data of I and J. Under the assumption that either char k = 0 or I and J are monomial ideals, we provide explicit formulas for the depth and regularity of powers of F. In particular, we establish for all s ≥ 2 the intriguing formula depth(T/Fs) = 0. If moreover each of the ideals I and J is generated in a single degree, we show that for all s ≥ 1, reg Fs = maxi∈[1, s]{reg Ii + s − i, reg Ji + s − i}. Finally, we prove that the linearity defect of F is the maximum of the linearity defects of I and J, extending previous work of Conca and Römer. The proofs exploit the so-called Betti splittings of powers of a fiber product.
