Monomial ideals and the failure of the Strong Lefschetz property

We give a sharp lower bound for the Hilbert function in degree $d$ of artinian quotients $\Bbbk[x_1,\ldots,x_n]/I$ failing the Strong Lefschetz property, where $I$ is a monomial ideal generated in degree $d \geq 2$. We also provide sharp lower bounds for other classes of ideals, and connect our result to the classification of the Hilbert functions forcing the Strong Lefschetz property by Zanello and Zylinski.
