Abstract
We consider the minimal free resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings associated to linear codes and give an intrinsic characterization of linear codes having a pure resolution. We use this characterization to quickly deduce the minimal free resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings associated to MDS codes as well as constant weight codes. We also deduce that the minimal free resolutions of Stanley-Reisner rings of first order Reed-Muller codes are pure, and explicitly describe the Betti numbers. Further, we show that in the case of higher order Reed-Muller codes, the minimal free resolutions are almost always not pure. The nature of the minimal free resolution of Stanley-Reisner rings corresponding to several classes of two-weight codes, besides the first order Reed-Muller codes, is also determined.
