We use this to prove that if dim $\mathrm {Tor} _1^R(M,N)\leq 1$, then $\mathrm{reg}(M\otimes N)\leq \mathrm{reg}( M)+\mathrm {reg}(N)$, generalizing results of Chandler, Conca and Herzog, and Sidman. Finally we give a description of the regularity of a module in terms of the postulation numbers of filter regular hyperplane restrictions. rv:
