ALMOST COHEN-MACAULAYNESS OF KOSZUL HOMOLOGY

Let (R, m) be a commutative Noetherian ring, I an ideal of R and M a non-zero finitely generated R-module. We show that if M and $H_0(I,M)$ are aCM R-modules and $I=(x_1,{\cdots},x_{n+1})$ such that $x_1,{\cdots},x_n$ is an M-regular sequence, then $H_i(I,M)$ is an aCM R-module for all i. Moreover, we prove that if R and $H_i(I,R)$ are aCM for all i, then R/(0 : I) is aCM. In addition, we prove that if R is aCM and $x_1,{\cdots},x_n$ is an aCM d-sequence, then depth $H_i(x_1,{\cdots},x_n;R){\geq}i-1$ for all i.
