Let $A=\pmb k[x_1,...,x_n]/{(x_1^d,...,x_n^d)}$, where $\pmb k$ is an infinite field. If $\pmb k$ has characteristic zero, then Stanley proved that $A$ has the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). Henceforth, $\pmb k$ has positive characteristic…
MacMahon enumerated the plane partitions in an $a \times b \times c$ box. These are in bijection to lozenge tilings of a hexagon, to certain perfect matchings, and to families of non-intersecting lattice paths. In this work we consider more…
Motivated by the foundational result that a monomial complete intersection has the strong Lefschetz property (SLP) in characteristic zero, it is natural to ask when monomial almost complete intersections have the SLP. In this paper, using…
In this paper we study the Lefschetz properties of monomial complete intersections in positive characteristic. We give a complete classification of the strong Lefschetz property when the number of variables is at least three, which proves a…
We introduce a natural correspondence between artinian monomial almost complete intersections in three variables and punctured hexagonal regions. We use this correspondence to investigate the algebras for the presence of the weak Lefschetz…
Many algebras are expected to have the Weak Lefschetz property though this is often very difficult to establish. We illustrate the subtlety of the problem by studying monomial and some closely related ideals. Our results exemplify the…
We consider the conjecture that all artinian height 4 complete intersections of forms of the same degree $d$ have the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). We translate this problem to one of studying the general hyperplane section of a certain…
In this paper we classify the monomial complete intersection algebras, in two variables, and of positive characteristic, which has the strong Lef- schetz property. Together with known results, this gives a complete classi- fication of the…
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. We apply a theorem of C. Han to give an explicit description for the weak Lefschetz property of the monomial Artinian complete intersection A = K[X,Y,Z]/(X^d,Y^d,Z^d) in terms…
We consider artinian algebras $A=\mathbb{C}[x_0,\ldots,x_m]/I$, with $I$ generated by a regular sequence of homogeneous forms of the same degree $d\geq 2$. We show that the multiplication by a general linear form from $A_{d-1}$ to $A_d$ is…
An artinian graded algebra, $A$, is said to have the Weak Lefschetz property (WLP) if multiplication by a general linear form has maximal rank in every degree. A vast quantity of work has been done studying and applying this property,…
Much progress has been made in classifying when the weak Lefschetz property holds for $A=\mathbb{F}[x,y,z]/I$ where $\text{char}(\mathbb{F})=0$ and $I=(x_{1}^{d_{1}},y^{d_{2}},z^{d_{3}},x^{a_{1}}y^{a_{2}}z^{a_{3}})$ is a monomial almost…
In this work a combinatorial approach towards the weak Lefschetz property is developed that relates this property to enumerations of signed perfect matchings as well as to enumerations of signed families of non-intersecting lattice paths in…
We study almost complete intersection ideals in a polynomial ring, generated by powers of all the variables together with a power of their sum. Our main result is an explicit description of the reduced Gr\"obner bases for these ideals under…
Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and let I=(f_1,...,f_n) be a homogeneous R_+-primary ideal in R:=K[X,Y,Z]. If the corresponding syzygy bundle Syz(f_1,...,f_n) on the projective plane is semistable, we show that…
Stanley proved that, in characteristic zero, all artinian monomial complete intersections have the strong Lefschetz property. We provide a positive characteristic complement to Stanley's result in the case of artinian monomial complete…
In this work, we investigate the presence of the weak Lefschetz property (WLP) and Hilbert functions for various types of random standard graded Artinian algebras. If an algebra has the WLP then its Hilbert function is unimodal. Using…
A graded Artinian algebra $A$ has the Weak Lefschetz Property if there exists a linear form $\ell$ such that the multiplication map by $\ell:[A]_i\to [A]_{i+1}$ has maximum rank in every degree. The linear forms satisfying this property…
We study the weak Lefschetz property of artinian Gorenstein algebras and in particular of artinian complete intersections. In codimension four and higher, it is an open problem whether all complete intersections have the weak Lefschetz…
We study the weak Lefschetz property and the Hilbert function of level Artinian monomial almost complete intersections in three variables. Several such families are shown to have the weak Lefschetz property if the characteristic of the base…
