Graded algebras with cyclotomic Hilbert series

Abstract

Let RR be a positively graded algebra over a field. We say that RR is Hilbert-cyclotomic if the numerator of its reduced Hilbert series has all of its roots on the unit circle. Such rings arise naturally in commutative algebra, numerical semigroup theory and Ehrhart theory. If RR is standard graded, we prove that, under the additional hypothesis that RR is Koszul or has an irreducible hh-polynomial, Hilbert-cyclotomic algebras coincide with complete intersections. In the Koszul case, this is a consequence of some classical results about the vanishing of deviations of a graded algebra.
