Abstract

Let kk be a field of positive characteristic pp, RR be a Gorenstein graded kk-algebra, and S=R/JS=R/J be an artinian quotient of RR by a homogeneous ideal. We ask how the socle degrees of SS are related to the socle degrees of FRe(S)=R/J[q]F_R^e(S)=R/J^{[q]}. If SS has finite projective dimension as an RR-module, then the socles of SS and FRe(S)F_R^e(S) have the same dimension and the socle degrees are related by the formula: Di=qdi(q1)a(R),D_i=qd_i-(q-1)a(R), where d1>...dandD1...D d_1\le >...\le d_{\ell}\quad\text{and}\quad D_1\le ... \le D_{\ell} are the socle degrees SS and FRe(S)F_R^e(S), respectively, and a(R)a(R) is the aa-invariant of the graded ring RR, as introduced by Goto and Watanabe. We prove the converse when RR is a complete intersection.
