\(k\)-Lefschetz properties, sectional matrices and hyperplane arrangements (Q2240454)

In the paper under review, the authors study the Lefschetz properties for non-Artinian algebras. The main tool that the authors are using is the so-called sectional matrix which encodes the Hilbert function of successive hyperplane sections of a homogeneous ideal. In the first step, the authors explain why the sectional matrix of a graded algebra plays an important role in the study of Lefschetz properties. As a result, the authors apply results devoted to the sectional matrix to study the Jacobian algebra of a hyperplane arrangement with a special emphasize of free arrangements.
