Lefschetz properties of Gorenstein graded algebras associated to the Apéry set of a numerical semigroup

Abstract

In this paper we study the Weak Lefschetz property of two classes of standard graded Artinian Gorenstein algebras associated in a natural way to the Apéry set of numerical semigroups. To this aim we also prove a general result about the transfer of the Weak Lefschetz property from an Artinian Gorenstein algebra to its quotients modulo a colon ideal.
