An infinite series of Gorenstein local algebras failing the affine homogeneity property
Roman Avdeev, Yulia Zaitseva
Abstract
We provide an infinite series of commutative finite-dimensional Gorenstein local algebras $A_n$ for $n \ge 2$. We give an elementary proof that the maximal ideal of every algebra $A_n$ possesses a one-dimensional subspace that is different from the socle and invariant under the automorphism group of $A_n$. The latter implies that the algebras $A_n$ fail the affine homogeneity property. We also discuss some consequences concerning additive actions on projective hypersurfaces, related to the generalized Hassett-Tschinkel correspondence for these algebras.
