Let A be a standard graded Artinian K-algebra, with char K = 0. We prove the following. 1. A has the Weak Lefschetz Property (resp. Strong Lefschetz Property) if and only if Gr(z)(A) has the Weak Lefschetz Property (resp. Strong Lefschetz Property) for some linear form z of A. 2. If A is Gorenstein, then A has the Strong Lefschetz Property if and only if there exists a linear form z of A such t...

Binomials in polynomial ideals can be well hidden. For example, the lowest degr...
