Betti numbers of compressed level algebras (Q1295679): Difference between revisions

Level algebras are often encountered in various applications of commutative algebra, such as algebraic geometry and algebraic combinatorics. Compressed level algebras are level algebras of maximal Hilbert function among all level algebras of given codimension and socle type. In this paper the Betti numbers of compressed level algebras are studied. The author gives lower bounds for these Betti numbers and conjectures that these bounds are sharp. The conjecture is proved in the case of Gorenstein Artin algebras of embedding dimension four, and in the case of Artin level algebras whose socle dimension is large. Moreover computational evidences for the conjecture are presented.
