On minimal Gorenstein Hilbert functions (Q6144653)

In the first two sections, the authors recall basic definitions and results on Hilbert functions and full Perazzo algebras. The main aim of this paper is to investigate the ``full Perazzo conjecture'', that sounds as follows: Let \(H\) be the Hilbert vector of a full Perazzo algebra of type \(m\geq 3\), socle degree \(d\geq 4\), codimension \(r=r(m,d)\). Then \(H\) is minimal in the family of Hilbert vectors of Artinian Gorenstein algebras of codimension \(r\) and socle degree \(d\). The main result is the proof of such a conjecture under the hypothesis \(m=3\). The conjecture is also proved, in some special cases, when \(d=4\) or \(d=5\). The last section of the paper deals with an already known result on the asymptotic behavior of the minimum entry of a Gorenstein Hilbert function, of which they produce a new proof.
