TL;DR
This work analyzes when the weak Lefschetz property (WLP) holds for Artinian algebras arising from graphs, focusing on tensor products with complete quadratic monomial algebras and on lollipop graphs $L_{m,n}$. It proves a general criterion: for $B=rac{oldsymbol{k}[x_1, olinebreak\dots,x_n]}{(x_1, olinebreak\dots,x_n)^2} ensor_oldsymbol{k} A$ with $oldsymbol{ extell}'=x_1+ olinebreak\nolinebreak olinebreak x_n+oldsymbol{ extell}$, the maps $oldsymbol{ extell}'$ are injective/surjective precisely when the corresponding maps $oldsymbol{ extell}$ and $oldsymbol{ extell}^2$ on $A$ have the same property; this yields a way to determine WLP for $A(L_{m,n})$ via exact sequences and inductive arguments. The independence polynomial of $L_{m,n}$ is shown to be unimodal with mode in $iglracerakl_n,rakl_n+1igrrace$, enabling a precise parameter-based WLP classification: in characteristic zero, $A(L_{m,n})$ has the WLP exactly for specified small values of $m$ and $n$ (three explicit families). Overall, the paper links graph-theoretic invariants (independence polynomials) to Lefschetz properties, delivering a complete WLP characterization for lollipop-graph algebras and contributing a general framework for tensor-product Lefschetz analysis in monomial settings.
Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the weak Lefschetz property for tensor products of Artinian monomial algebras and complete quadratic monomial algebras. As an application, we classify the weak Lefschetz property of the Artinian algebras $A(L_{m,n})$, which are defined by the edge ideals of the lollipop graphs $L_{m,n}$ together with the squares of the variables.
