Artinian level algebras of codimension 3

Abstract: In this paper, we continue the study of which

h

-vectors

H = (1, 3, ..., h_{d - 1}, h_{d}, h_{d + 1})

can be the Hilbert function of a level algebra by investigating Artinian level algebras of codimension 3 with the condition

, where

I^{m l e x}

is the lex-segment ideal associated with an ideal

I

. Our approach is to adopt an homological method called {it Cancellation Principle}: the minimal free resolution of

I

is obtained from that of

I^{m l e x}

by canceling some adjacent terms of the same shift. We prove that when

,

R / I

can be an Artinian level

k

-algebra only if either

h_{d - 1} < h_{d} < h_{d + 1}

or

h_{d - 1} = h_{d} = h_{d + 1} = d + 1

holds. We also apply our results to show that for

H = (1, 3, ..., h_{d - 1}, h_{d}, h_{d + 1})

, the Hilbert function of an Artinian algebra of codimension 3 with the condition

h_{d - 1} = h_{d} < h_{d + 1}

, (a) if

h_{d} l e q 3 d + 2

, then

h

-vector

H

cannot be level, and (b) if

h_{d} g e q 3 d + 3

, then there is a level algebra with Hilbert function

H

for some value of

h_{d + 1}

.
