Abstract:

A criterion is established, in terms of the Massey products structure carried by the homology of partial resolutions, for the Yoneda cohomology algebra ${\operatorname {Ext} _A}(k, k)$ to be a free module over the universal envelope of a free graded Lie subalgebra. It is shown that several conjectures on the (co)homology of local rings, in particular on the asymptotic behaviour of the Betti numbers, follow from such a structure. For all rings with $\operatorname {edim} A - \operatorname {depth} A \leqslant 3$, and for Gorenstein rings with $\operatorname {edim} A - \operatorname {depth} A = 4$, the following dichotomy is proved: Either $A$ is a complete intersection, or ${\operatorname {Ext} _A}(k, k)$ contains a nonabelian free graded Lie subalgebra.
