Abstract

In this paper, we consider the Hessian matrices HΓH_{\Gamma} of the complete and complete bipartite graphs, and the special value of H~Γ\tilde H_{\Gamma} at xi=1x_{i}=1 for all xix_{i}. We compute the eigenvalues of H~Γ\tilde H_{\Gamma}. We show that one of them is positive and that the others are negative. In other words, the metric with respect to the symmetric matrix H~Γ\tilde H_{\Gamma} is Lorentzian. Hence those Hessian det(HΓ)\det (H_{\Gamma}) are not identically zero. As an application, we show the strong Lefschetz property for the Artinian Gorenstein algebra associated to the graphic matroids of the complete and complete bipartite graphs with at most five vertices.
