The algebraic gg-conjecture for rational homology spheres

Let Δ\Delta be a rational homology (d1)(d-1)-sphere, let Q[Δ]Q[\Delta] be its face ring, and let Θ\Theta be a linear system of parameters for Q[Δ]Q[\Delta]. A simplicial complex has the Lefschetz property if there exists such a Θ\Theta and a linear form ω\omega for which multiplication by ωd2i\omega^{d-2i} induces an isomorphism

cdotomegad2i:(Q[Δ]/Θ)i(Q[Δ]/Θ)dicdotomega^{d-2i}:(Q[\Delta]/\Theta)_i\to(Q[\Delta]/\Theta)_{d-i}

for all id/2i\leq d/2.

The algebraic gg-conjecture. Every rational homology sphere has Lefschetz property.

The asserted property would imply the gg-conjecture through the Hilbert-function description of the face ring quotient and Macaulay's characterization of MM-sequences. The source notes that the property is known for polytopal spheres, while its validity for arbitrary rational homology spheres is left as a conjecture.

  1. The algebraic gg-conjecture for rational homology spheres

    Let Δ\Delta be a rational homology sphere. It has the strong Lefschetz property if there exist a linear system of parameters Θ\Theta for Q[Δ]\mathbb{Q}[\Delta] and a linear form ωQ[Δ]\omega\in\mathbb{Q}[\Delta] such that multiplication by ωd2i\omega^{d-2i} induces an isomorphism

    ωd2i:(Q[Δ]/Θ)i(Q[Δ]/Θ)di\cdot\omega^{d-2i}: (\mathbb{Q}[\Delta]/\Theta)_i\longrightarrow (\mathbb{Q}[\Delta]/\Theta)_{d-i}

    for every id/2i\leq d/2. The algebraic gg-conjecture. Every rational homology sphere has the strong Lefschetz property. The source reports that Adiprasito announced a thorough solution of this conjecture, so it is recorded as solved.
