In this paper we study the O-sequences of the local (or graded) $K$-algebras of socle degree $4.$ More precisely, we prove that an O-sequence $h=(1, 3, h_2, h_3, h_4)$, where $h_4 \geq 2,$ is the $h$-vector of a local level $K$-algebra if…

In this paper we study standard graded artinian level algebras, in particular those whose socle-vector has type 2. Our main results are: the characterization of the level $h$-vectors of the form $(1,r,...,r,2)$ for $r\leq 4$; the…

We classify all possible $h$-vectors of graded artinian Gorenstein algebras in socle degree 4 and codimension $\leq 17$, and in socle degree 5 and codimension $\leq 25$. We obtain as a consequence that the least number of variables allowing…

The study of the $h$-vectors of graded Gorenstein algebras is an important topic in combinatorial commutative algebra, which despite the large amount of literature produced during the last several years, still presents many interesting open…

It is unknown if an Artinian level O-sequence of codimension 3 and type $r (\ge 2)$ is unimodal, while it is known that any Gorenstein O-sequence of codimension 3 is unimodal. We show that some Artinian non-unimodal O-sequence of…

This paper is the continuation of the previous work on generalized compressed algebras (GCA's). First we exhibit a new class of socle-vectors $s$ which admit a GCA (whose $h$-vector is lower than the upper-bound $H$ of Theorem A of the…

Given a simple graph, consider the polynomial ring with coefficients in a field and variables identified with the edges of the graph. Given a non-empty even cardinality Eulerian subgraph and a choice of half of its edges, consider the…

We prove that the Hilbert functions of codimension four graded Gorenstein Artin algebras R/I are unimodal provided I has a minimal generator in degree less than five. It is an open question whether all Gorenstein h-vectors in codimension…

Fix a codimension $r$ and a socle-vector $s$. Is there an (entry by entry) maximal $h$-vector $h$ among the $h$-vectors of all the (standard graded artinian) algebras having data $(r,s)$? Extending a definition of Iarrobino, if such an $h$…

In this paper, we continue the study of which $h$-vectors $\H=(1,3,..., h_{d-1}, h_d, h_{d+1})$ can be the Hilbert function of a level algebra by investigating Artinian level algebras of codimension 3 with the condition…

Codimension two Artinian algebras $A$ have the strong and weak Lefschetz properties provided the characteristic is zero or greater than the socle degree. It is open to what extent such results might extend to codimension three AG algebras -…

We describe all possible topological structures of codimension one gradient vector fields on the shpere with at most ten singular points. To describe structures, we use a graph whose edges are one-dimensional stable manifolds. The…

We prove two results about vector bundles on singular algebraic surfaces. First, on proper surfaces there are vector bundles of rank two with arbitrarily large second Chern number and fixed determinant. Second, on separated normal surfaces…

$(1,3,6,10,15,21,28,27,27,28)$ is a level $h$-vector! This example answers negatively the open question as to whether all codimension 3 level $h$-vectors are unimodal. Moreover, using the same (simple) technique, we are able to construct…

Vector calculus in three dimensions with a Euclidian metric is the lingua franca of classical physics, including classical electrodynamics. This article corrects some long-standing imprecision in a fundamental result. Some textbooks assert…

We study the problem of whether an arbitrary codimension three graded artinian Gorenstein algebra has the Weak Lefschetz Property. We reduce this problem to checking whether it holds for all compressed Gorenstein algebras of odd socle…

The $h$-vectors of homogeneous rings are one of the most important invariants that often reflect ring-theoretic properties. On the other hand, there are few examples of edge rings of graphs whose $h$-vectors are explicitly computed. In this…

We establish the existence of rank two Ulrich vector bundles on surfaces that are either of maximal Albanese dimension or with irregularity 1, under many embeddings. In particular we get the first known examples of Ulrich vector bundles on…

Let $R$ be a standard graded algebra over a field. We investigate how the singularities of $R$ affect its $h$-vector, which is the coefficients of the numerator of its Hilbert series. The most concrete consequences of our work asserts that…

In this note we establish a (non-trivial) lower bound on the degree two entry $h_2$ of a Gorenstein $h$-vector of any given socle degree $e$ and any codimension $r$. In particular, when $e=4$, that is for Gorenstein $h$-vectors of the form…
