Abstract: The tuple of multiplications by coordinate functions on the Hardy space of the open unit ball $\mathbb{B}^{2m}$ in $\mathbb{C}^m$ (resp. open unit polydisk $\mathbb{D}^m$ in $\mathbb{C}^m$ ) is referred to as the Szegö tuple (resp. Cauchy tuple) and is a well-known example of a subnormal operator tuple. Naturally associated with the Szegö tuple (resp. Cauchy tuple) is its dual whose coordinates act on the orthocomplement of the Hardy space of the ball (resp. polydisk) in an appropriate space. We examine the Koszul complexes associated with the duals of the Szegö and Cauchy tuples and determine their Betti numbers. We explicitly verify that, for $m \geq 2$ , the 'th cohomology vector space associated with the Koszul complex of either the dual of the Szegö tuple or the dual of the Cauchy tuple is zero-dimensional. It follows in particular that, for $m \geq 2$ , neither the Szegö -tuple nor the Cauchy -tuple is quasisimilar to its dual; this is in contrast with the case where both the Szegö tuple and the Cauchy tuple reduce to the Unilateral Shift, which is known to be unitarily equivalent to its dual.
