Abstract
The algebraic Lefschetz properties are inspired by the Hard Lefschetz Theorem from the cohomology of projective varieties. In this talk, we study the weak and strong Lefschetz properties for the Stanley–Reisner ring $R/in(I_t)$, where $I_t$ is the ideal of a polynomial ring R generated by the $t$-minors of an $m \times n$ matrix of indeterminates, and $in(I_t)$ denotes the initial ideal of $I_t$ with respect to a diagonal monomial order.
We show that when $I_t$ is generated by maximal minors, that is, when $t=\min\{m,n\}$, the algebra $R/in(I_t)$ has the strong Lefschetz property for all $m,n$. In contrast, for $t < \min\{m,n\}$, we establish a bound such that $R/in(I_t)$ fails to satisfy the weak Lefschetz property whenever the product $mn$ exceeds this bound.
As an application, these results yield counterexamples that provide a negative answer to a question posed by Murai regarding the preservation of Lefschetz properties under square-free Gröbner degenerations.
