Multigraded Strong Lefschetz Property for Balanced Simplicial Complexes

Abstract. Generalizing the strong Lefschetz property for an N-graded algebra, we introduce multigraded strong Lefschetz property for an Nm-graded algebra. We show that, for aN+m, the generic Nm-graded Artinian reduction of the Stanley-Reisner ring of an a-balanced homology sphere over a field of characteristic 2 satisfies the multigraded strong Lefschetz property. A corollary is the inequality hbhc for bca-b for the flag h-vector of an a-balanced simplicial sphere. This can be seen as a common generalization of the unimodality of the h-vector of a simplicial sphere by Adiprasito and balanced generalized lower bound inequality by Juhnke-Kubitzke and Murai. Another combinatorial consequence is that a k-dimensional completely balanced simplicial complex which is a subcomplex of a simplicial 2k-sphere satisfies fk ≤ 2fk-1.
