Lefschetz properties, Hard Lefschetz theorem, Hilbert function, Artinian ring

Abstract

These notes were prepared for the Lefschetz Preparatory School, a graduate summer course held in Krakow, May 6--10, 2024. They present the story of the algebraic Lefschetz properties from their origin in algebraic geometry to some recent developments in commutative algebra. The common thread of the notes is a bias towards topics surrounding the algebraic Lefschetz properties that have a topological flavor. These range from the Hard Lefschetz Theorem for cohomology rings to commutative algebraic analogues of these rings, namely artinian Gorenstein rings, and topologically motivated operations among such rings.
