In 1978, Stanley constructed an example of an Artinian Gorenstein (AG) ring $A$ with non-unimodal $H$-vector $(1,13,12,13,1)$. Migliore-Zanello later showed that for regularity $r=4$, Stanley's example has the smallest possible codimension…

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 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…

Ideals $I\subseteq R=k[\mathbb P^n]$ generated by powers of linear forms arise, via Macaulay duality, from sets of fat points $X\subseteq \mathbb P^n$. Properties of $R/I$ are connected to the geometry of the corresponding fat points. When…

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…

Let K be the face ring of the independence complex of a matroid. We show that if T is a generic linear system of parameters, then K/T satisfies a weak form of the Hard Lefschetz Theorem. As a result, the first half of the h-vector of the…

The Lefschetz question asks if multiplication by a power of a general linear form, $L$, on a graded algebra has maximal rank (in every degree). We consider a quotient by an ideal that is generated by powers of linear forms. Then the…

We introduce a method for studying the Lefschetz properties for $k[x,y]$-modules based on the Lindstr\"om-Gessel-Viennot Lemma. In particular, we prove that certain modules over Artinian Clements-Lindstr\"om rings in characteristic zero…

We construct new families of Artinian Gorenstein graded $K$-algebras of arbitrary codimension having binomial Macaulay dual generators and satisfying the weak or the strong Lefschetz property. This is a companion paper to \cite{ADFMMSV},…

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…

Let $C\subset \mathbb P^3$ be a curve over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let $M(C)$ denote its Hartshorne-Rao module. We study how the geometry of $C$ influences whether $M(C)$ satisfies the Weak and Strong…

A standard graded artinian monomial complete intersection algebra $A=\Bbbk[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]/(x_1^{a_1},x_2^{a_2},\ldots,x_n^{a_n})$, with $\Bbbk$ a field of characteristic zero, has the strong Lefschetz property due to Stanley in 1980.…

Let $I$ be a homogeneous Artinian ideal in a polynomial ring $R=k[x_1,...,x_n]$ over a field $k$ of characteristic 0. We study an equivalent condition for the generic initial ideal $\gin(I)$ with respect to reverse lexicographic order to be…

Every artinian quotient of $K[x,y]$ has the strong Lefschetz property if $K$ is a field of characteristic zero or is an infinite field whose characteristic is greater than the regularity of the quotient. We improve this bound in the case of…

Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic $0$ and $G$ a finite abelian group. For a $G$-graded $K$-algebra $A$, we define the primeness property for graded central polynomials: for any graded polynomials $f$ and $g$ in…

In this paper, we investigate Lefschetz properties of Veronese subalgebras. We show that, for a sufficiently large $r$, the $r$\textsuperscript{th} Veronese subalgebra of a Cohen-Macaulay standard graded $K$-algebra has properties similar…

We give an alternate proof for a theorem of Migliore and Nagel. In particular, we show that if $\mathcal H$ is an SI-sequence, then the collection of Betti diagrams for all Artinian Gorenstein $k$-algebras with the weak Lefschetz property…

We describe the structure of the symbolic powers $I^{(\ell)}$ of the Stanley-Reisner ideals, and cover ideals, $I$, of matroids. We (a) prove a structure theorem describing a minimal generating set for every $I^{(\ell)}$; (b) describe the…

Our starting point is a basic problem in Hermite interpolation theory, namely determining the least degree of a homogeneous polynomial that vanishes to some specified order at every point of a given finite set. We solve this problem if the…

In this article, we consider the weighted generating function of matchings in the complete graph. We define an Artinian Gorenstein algebra as the quotient ring of a polynomial ring by the annihilator of the generating function. We show the…
