Betti numbers of graded modules and the multiplicity conjecture in the non-Cohen-Macaulay case

• We use results of Eisenbud and Schreyer to prove that any Betti diagram of a graded module over a standard graded polynomial ring is a positive linear combination of Betti diagrams of modules with a pure resolution. This implies the multiplicity conjecture of Herzog, Huneke, and Srinivasan for modules that are not necessarily Cohen-Macaulay and also implies a generalized version of these inequalities. We also give a combinatorial proof of the convexity of the simplicial fan spanned by pure diagrams.
