The structure of the inverse system of level \(K\)-algebras (Q1784974)

Level rings, introduced by \textit{R. P. Stanley} [in: Higher Comb., Proc. NATO Adv. Study Inst., Berlin (West) 1976, 51--62 (1977; Zbl 0376.55007)] are between Cohen-Macaulay and Gorenstein rings but are not as well understood as Gorenstein rings. This is due to the abscence of an effective method to construct \(K\)-level algebras or even examples of them. The present paper uses Macaulay's inverse systems to construct \(K\)-level algebras of positive dimension (Theorem 2) thus extending previous results of \textit{J. Elias} and \textit{M. E. Rossi} [Adv. Math. 314, 306--327 (2017; Zbl 1368.13023)] on Gorenstein \(K\)-algebras of dimension \(d>0\). The authors complete the paper using their results to construct examples of level \(K\)-algebras.
