An SI-sequence is a finite sequence of positive integers which is symmetric, unimodal and satisfies a certain growth condition. These are known to correspond precisely to the possible Hilbert functions of Artinian Gorenstein algebras with…

The criterion for an affine primary algebra over the field to be integral, is proven. Using this criterion we give a simple proof that Hilbert scheme of 0-dimensional subschemes of length $l$ of nonsingular $d$-dimensional algebraic variety…

Let H_{ab} be the equivariant Hilbert scheme parametrizing the 0-dimensional subschemes of the affine plane invariant under the natural action of the one-dimensional torus T_{ab}:={(t^{-b},t^a), t\in k^*}. We compute the irreducible…

It is known that all complete intersection Artinian standard graded algebras of codimension 3 have the Weak Lefschetz Property. Unfortunately, this property does not continue to be true when you increase the number of minimal generators for…

Let $R=k[x_1,..., x_r]$ be the polynomial ring in $r$ variables over an infinite field $k$, and let $M$ be the maximal ideal of $R$. Here a \emph{level algebra} will be a graded Artinian quotient $A$ of $R$ having socle $Soc(A)=0:M$ in a…

We study the Artinian reduction $A$ of a configuration of points $X \subset {\mathbb P}^n $, and the relation of the geometry of $X$ to Lefschetz properties of $A$. Migliore initiated the study of this connection, with a particular focus on…

The purpose of this note is to characterize the finite Hilbert functions which force all of their artinian algebras to enjoy the Weak Lefschetz Property (WLP). Curiously, they turn out to be exactly those (characterized by Wiebe in $[Wi]$)…

It remains an open problem to classify the Hilbert functions of double points in $\mathbb{P}^2$. Given a valid Hilbert function $H$ of a zero-dimensional scheme in $\mathbb{P}^2$, we show how to construct a set of fat points $Z \subseteq…

We investigate the Weak Lefschetz Properties for modules whose minimal free resolutions are given by generalized Kosuzl complexes in dimension three through a careful study of their Betti numbers and the symmetry and unimodality of their…

We consider the following open questions. Fix a Hilbert function, $h$, that occurs for a reduced zero-dimensional subscheme of $\mathbb P^2$. Among all subschemes, $X$, with Hilbert function $h$, what are the possible Hilbert functions and…

Let $S$ be a smooth projective surface over $\mathbb{C}$. Let $S^{[n_1,\dots,n_k]}$ denote the nested Hilbert scheme which parametrizes zero-dimensional subschemes $\xi_{n_1} \subset \ldots \subset \xi_{n_k}$ where $\xi_i$ is a closed…

For a standard Artinian $k$-algebra $A=R/I$, we give equivalent conditions for $A$ to have the weak (or strong) Lefschetz property or the strong Stanley property in terms of the minimal system of generators of the generic initial ideal…

It is known that the variety parametrizing pairs of commuting nilpotent matrices is irreducible and that this provides a proof of the irreducibility of the punctual Hilbert scheme in the plane. We extend this link to the nilpotent commuting…

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…

In this article, we describe the irreducible components of the Hilbert scheme of $d$ points on $\mathbb{A}^n$ for $d=9,10$. The main techniques we use are the variety of commuting matrices and analyzing loci of local algebras with a…

The Hilbert scheme H^d_n of n points in A^d contains an irreducible component R^d_n which generically represents n distinct points in A^d. We show that when n is at most 8, the Hilbert scheme H^d_n is reducible if and only if n = 8 and d >=…

Let A = bigoplus_{i >= 0} A_i be a standard graded Artinian K-algebra, where char K = 0. Then A has the Weak Lefschetz property if there is an element ell of degree 1 such that the multiplication times ell : A_i --> A_{i+1} has maximal…

We give conditions for determining the extremal behavior for the (graded) Betti numbers of squarefree monomial ideals. For the case of non-unique minima, we give several conditions which we use to produce infinite families, exponentially…

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…

We study the existence and the schematic structure of elementary components of the nested Hilbert scheme on a smooth quasi-projective variety. Precisely, we find a new lower bound for the existence of non-smoothable nestings of fat points…
