(The d-th Veronese subring of a ring A_0 + A_1 + A_2 + ... is the ring A_0 + A_d + A_{2d} + ...; ``high'' means we take d sufficiently large, say at least half the regularity of the ideal defining the original ring.) This gives another proof of Backelin's theorem that such Veronese subrings are Koszul algebras (= wonderful rings), i.e., that the minimal resolution of the residue field of such a ring is linear.24 pages, latex fileAlgebraic GeometryCommutative AlgebraInitial ideals, Veronese subrings, and rates of algebrastext
