Abstract
For a tree , we study the changing behaviors in the homology groups as varies, where . We prove that the ranks of these homologies can be described by a single polynomial for all , and construct this polynomial explicitly in terms of invariants of the tree . To accomplish this we prove that the group can be endowed with the structure of a finitely generated graded module over an integral polynomial ring, and further prove that it naturally decomposes as a direct sum of graded shifts of squarefree monomial ideals. Following this, we spend time considering how our methods might be generalized to braid groups of arbitrary graphs, and make various conjectures in this direction.
