The unbroken spectrum of type-A Frobenius seaweeds

If \(\mathfrak {g}\) is a Frobenius Lie algebra, then for certain \(F\in \mathfrak {g}^*\) the natural map \(\mathfrak {g}\longrightarrow \mathfrak {g}^* \) given by \(x \longmapsto F[x,-]\) is an isomorphism. The inverse image of F under this isomorphism is called a principal element. We show that if \(\mathfrak {g}\) is a Frobenius seaweed subalgebra of \(A_{n-1}=\mathfrak {sl}(n)\), then the spectrum of the adjoint of a principal element consists of an unbroken set of integers whose multiplicities have a symmetric distribution. Our proof methods are constructive and combinatorial in nature.     

Optimal Tauberian constant in Ingham’s theorem for Laplace transforms

It is well known that there is an absolute constant \(\mathfrak{C}\) > 0 such that if the Laplace transform \(G(s) = \int_0^\infty {\rho (x)} {e^{ - sx}}dx\) of a bounded function ρ has analytic continuation through every point of the segment (?iλ, iλ) of the imaginary axis, then

$$G(s) = |\int_0^\infty {\rho (\mu )} du - G(0)| \leqslant \frac{{\text{C}}}{\lambda }\mathop {limsup}\limits_{x \to \infty } |\rho (x)|$$

The best known value of the constant \(\mathfrak{C}\) was so far \(\mathfrak{C}\) = 2. In this article we show that the inequality holds with \(\mathfrak{C}\) = π/2 and that this value is best possible. We also sharpen Tauberian constants in finite forms of other related complex Tauberian theorems for Laplace transforms.

     

Characterization of some derivations on von Neumann algebras via left centralizers

Let \(\mathfrak {M}\) be a von Neumann algebra, and let \(\mathfrak {T}:\mathfrak {M} \rightarrow \mathfrak {M}\) be a bounded linear map satisfying \(\mathfrak {T}(P^{2}) = \mathfrak {T}(P)P + \Psi (P,P)\) for each projection P of \(\mathfrak {M}\), where \(\Psi :\mathfrak {M} \times \mathfrak {M} \rightarrow \mathfrak {M}\) is a bi-linear map. If \(\Psi \) is a bounded l-semi Hochschild 2-cocycle, then \(\mathfrak {T}\) is a left centralizer associated with \(\Psi \). By applying this conclusion, we offer a characterization of left \(\sigma \)-centralizers, generalized derivations and generalized \(\sigma \)-derivations on von Neumann algebras. Moreover, it is proved that if \(\mathfrak {M}\) is a commutative von Neumann algebra and \(\sigma :\mathfrak {M} \rightarrow \mathfrak {M}\) is an endomorphism, then every bi-\(\sigma \)-derivation \(D:\mathfrak {M} \times \mathfrak {M} \rightarrow \mathfrak {M}\) is identically zero.     

A partition relation for pairs on $$\omega ^{\omega ^\omega }$$

We consider colorings of the pairs of a family \(\mathcal {F}\subseteq {{\mathrm{FIN}}}\) of topological type \(\omega ^{\omega ^k}\), for \(k>1\); and we find a homogeneous family \(\mathcal {G}\subseteq \mathcal {F}\) for each coloring. As a consequence, we complete our study of the partition relation \({\forall l>1,\, \alpha \rightarrow ({{\mathrm{top}}}\;\omega ^2+1)^2_{l,m}}\) identifying \(\omega ^{\omega ^\omega }\) as the smallest ordinal space \(\alpha <\omega _1\) satisfying \({\forall l>1,\, \alpha \rightarrow ({{\mathrm{top}}}\;\omega ^2+1)^2_{l,4}}\).     

Positive Systems of Kostant Roots

Let \(\mathfrak {g}\) be a simple complex Lie algebra and let \(\mathfrak {t} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) be a toral subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\). As a \(\mathfrak {t}\)-module \(\mathfrak {g}\) decomposes as

$$\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{s} \oplus \left( \oplus_{\nu \in \mathcal{R}}~ \mathfrak{g}^{\nu}\right)$$

where \(\mathfrak {s} \subset \mathfrak {g}\) is the reductive part of a parabolic subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) and \(\mathcal {R}\) is the Kostant root system associated to \(\mathfrak {t}\). When \(\mathfrak {t}\) is a Cartan subalgebra of \(\mathfrak {g}\) the decomposition above is nothing but the root decomposition of \(\mathfrak {g}\) with respect to \(\mathfrak {t}\); in general the properties of \(\mathcal {R}\) resemble the properties of usual root systems. In this note we study the following problem: “Given a subset \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), is there a parabolic subalgebra \(\mathfrak {p}\) of \(\mathfrak {g}\) containing \(\mathcal {M} = \oplus _{\nu \in \mathcal {S}} \mathfrak {g}^{\nu }\) and whose reductive part equals \(\mathfrak {s}\)?”. Our main results is that, for a classical simple Lie algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\) and a saturated \(\mathcal {S} \subset \mathcal {R}\), the condition \((\text {Sym}^{\cdot }(\mathcal {M}))^{\mathfrak {s}} = \mathbb {C}\) is necessary and sufficient for the existence of such a \(\mathfrak {p}\). In contrast, we show that this statement is no longer true for the exceptional Lie algebras F₄,E₆,E₇, and E₈. Finally, we discuss the problem in the case when \(\mathcal {S}\) is not saturated.

     

A System Coupling and Donoghue Classes of Herglotz–Nevanlinna Functions

We study the impedance functions of conservative L-systems with the unbounded main operators. In addition to the generalized Donoghue class \({\mathfrak {M}}_\kappa \) of Herglotz–Nevanlinna functions considered by the authors earlier, we introduce “inverse” generalized Donoghue classes \({\mathfrak {M}}_\kappa ^{-1}\) of functions satisfying a different normalization condition on the generating measure, with a criterion for the impedance function \(V_\Theta (z)\) of an L-system \(\Theta \) to belong to the class \({\mathfrak {M}}_\kappa ^{-1}\) presented. In addition, we establish a connection between “geometrical” properties of two L-systems whose impedance functions belong to the classes \({\mathfrak {M}}_\kappa \) and \({\mathfrak {M}}_\kappa ^{-1}\), respectively. In the second part of the paper we introduce a coupling of two L-system and show that if the impedance functions of two L-systems belong to the generalized Donoghue classes \({\mathfrak {M}}_{\kappa _1}\)(\({\mathfrak {M}}_{\kappa _1}^{-1}\)) and \({\mathfrak {M}}_{\kappa _2}\)(\({\mathfrak {M}}_{\kappa _2}^{-1}\)), then the impedance function of the coupling falls into the class \({\mathfrak {M}}_{\kappa _1\kappa _2}\). Consequently, we obtain that if an L-system whose impedance function belongs to the standard Donoghue class \({\mathfrak {M}}={\mathfrak {M}}_0\) is coupled with any other L-system, the impedance function of the coupling belongs to \({\mathfrak {M}}\) (the absorbtion property). Observing the result of coupling of n L-systems as n goes to infinity, we put forward the concept of a limit coupling which leads to the notion of the system attractor, two models of which (in the position and momentum representations) are presented. All major results are illustrated by various examples.     

The countable existentially closed pseudocomplemented semilattice

As the class \(\mathcal {PCSL}\) of pseudocomplemented semilattices is a universal Horn class generated by a single finite structure it has a \(\aleph _0\)-categorical model companion \(\mathcal {PCSL}^*\). As \(\mathcal {PCSL}\) is inductive the models of \(\mathcal {PCSL}^*\) are exactly the existentially closed models of \(\mathcal {PCSL}\). We will construct the unique existentially closed countable model of \(\mathcal {PCSL}\) as a direct limit of algebraically closed pseudocomplemented semilattices.     

Commutativity of the centralizer of a subalgebra in a universal enveloping algebra

Let G be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let \(\mathfrak{h}\) be an algebraic subalgebra of the tangent Lie algebra \(\mathfrak{g}\) of G. We find all subalgebras \(\mathfrak{h}\) that have no nontrivial characters and whose centralizers \(\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{h} \) and \(P(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{h} \) in the universal enveloping algebra \(\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{g})\) and in the associated graded algebra \(P(\mathfrak{g})\), respectively, are commutative. For all these subalgebras, we prove that \(\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{h} = \mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{h})^\mathfrak{h} \otimes \mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g} \) and \(P(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{h} = P(\mathfrak{h})^\mathfrak{h} \otimes P(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{g} \). Furthermore, we obtain a criterion for the commutativity of \(\mathfrak{U}(\mathfrak{g})^\mathfrak{h} \) in terms of representation theory.     

Existence and concentration of solution for a class of fractional Hamiltonian systems with subquadratic potential

In this article, we consider the following fractional Hamiltonian systems:

$$\begin{aligned} {_{t}}D_{\infty }^{\alpha }({_{-\infty }}D_{t}^{\alpha }u) + \lambda L(t)u = \nabla W(t, u), \;\;t\in \mathbb {R}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(\alpha \in (1/2, 1)\), \(\lambda >0\) is a parameter, \(L\in C(\mathbb {R}, \mathbb {R}^{n\times n})\) and \(W \in C^{1}(\mathbb {R} \times \mathbb {R}^n, \mathbb {R})\). Unlike most other papers on this problem, we require that L(t) is a positive semi-definite symmetric matrix for all \(t\in \mathbb {R}\), that is, \(L(t) \equiv 0\) is allowed to occur in some finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\) of \(\mathbb {R}\). Under some mild assumptions on W, we establish the existence of nontrivial weak solution, which vanish on \(\mathbb {R} \setminus \mathbb {I}\) as \(\lambda \rightarrow \infty ,\) and converge to \(\tilde{u}\) in \(H^{\alpha }(\mathbb {R})\); here \(\tilde{u} \in E_{0}^{\alpha }\) is nontrivial weak solution of the Dirichlet BVP for fractional Hamiltonian systems on the finite interval \(\mathbb {I}\). Furthermore, we give the multiplicity results for the above fractional Hamiltonian systems.

     

Finite Gap Jacobi Matrices,III. Beyond the Szegő Class

Let \({\frak {e}}\subset {\mathbb {R}}\) be a finite union of ?+1 disjoint closed intervals, and denote by ω _j the harmonic measure of the j left-most bands. The frequency module for \({\frak {e}}\) is the set of all integral combinations of ω ₁,…,ω _? . Let \(\{\tilde{a}_{n}, \tilde{b}_{n}\}_{n=-\infty}^{\infty}\) be a point in the isospectral torus for \({\frak {e}}\) and \(\tilde{p}_{n}\) its orthogonal polynomials. Let \(\{a_{n},b_{n}\}_{n=1}^{\infty}\) be a half-line Jacobi matrix with \(a_{n} = \tilde{a}_{n} + \delta a_{n}\), \(b_{n} = \tilde{b}_{n} +\delta b_{n}\). Suppose

$\sum_{n=1}^\infty \lvert \delta a_n\rvert ^2 + \lvert \delta b_n\rvert ^2 <\infty $

and \(\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{2\pi i\omega n} \delta a_{n}\), \(\sum_{n=1}^{N} e^{2\pi i\omega n} \delta b_{n}\) have finite limits as N→∞ for all ω in the frequency module. If, in addition, these partial sums grow at most subexponentially with respect to ω, then for z∈???, \(p_{n}(z)/\tilde{p}_{n}(z)\) has a limit as n→∞. Moreover, we show that there are non-Szeg? class J’s for which this holds.

     

Iteration of certain exponential-like meromorphic functions

The dynamics of functions \(f_\lambda (z)= \lambda \frac{\mathrm{e}^{z}}{z+1}\ \text{ for }\ z\in \mathbb {C}, \lambda >0\) is studied showing that there exists \(\lambda ^* > 0\) such that the Julia set of \(f_\lambda \) is disconnected for \(0< \lambda < \lambda ^*\) whereas it is the whole Riemann sphere for \(\lambda > \lambda ^*\). Further, for \(0< \lambda < \lambda ^*\), the Julia set is a disjoint union of two topologically and dynamically distinct completely invariant subsets, one of which is totally disconnected. The union of the escaping set and the backward orbit of \(\infty \) is shown to be disconnected for \(0<\lambda < \lambda ^*\) whereas it is connected for \(\lambda > \lambda ^*\). For complex \(\lambda \), it is proved that either all multiply connected Fatou components ultimately land on an attracting or parabolic domain containing the omitted value of the function or the Julia set is connected. In the latter case, the Fatou set can be empty or consists of Siegel disks. All these possibilities are shown to occur for suitable parameters. Meromorphic functions \(E_n(z) =\mathrm{e}^{z}(1+z+\frac{z^2}{2!}+\cdots +\frac{z^n}{n!})^{-1}\), which we call exponential-like, are studied as a generalization of \(f(z)=\frac{\mathrm{e}^{z}}{z+1}\) which is nothing but \(E_1(z)\). This name is justified by showing that \(E_n\) has an omitted value 0 and there are no other finite singular value. In fact, it is shown that there is only one singularity over 0 as well as over \(\infty \) and both are direct. Non-existence of Herman rings are proved for \(\lambda E_n \).     

On the additivity of block designs

We show that symmetric block designs \({\mathcal {D}}=({\mathcal {P}},{\mathcal {B}})\) can be embedded in a suitable commutative group \({\mathfrak {G}}_{\mathcal {D}}\) in such a way that the sum of the elements in each block is zero, whereas the only Steiner triple systems with this property are the point-line designs of \({\mathrm {PG}}(d,2)\) and \({\mathrm {AG}}(d,3)\). In both cases, the blocks can be characterized as the only k-subsets of \(\mathcal {P}\) whose elements sum to zero. It follows that the group of automorphisms of any such design \(\mathcal {D}\) is the group of automorphisms of \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) that leave \(\mathcal {P}\) invariant. In some special cases, the group \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) can be determined uniquely by the parameters of \(\mathcal {D}\). For instance, if \(\mathcal {D}\) is a 2-\((v,k,\lambda )\) symmetric design of prime order p not dividing k, then \({\mathfrak {G}}_\mathcal {D}\) is (essentially) isomorphic to \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\), and the embedding of the design in the group can be described explicitly. Moreover, in this case, the blocks of \(\mathcal {B}\) can be characterized also as the v intersections of \(\mathcal {P}\) with v suitable hyperplanes of \(({\mathbb {Z}}/p{\mathbb {Z}})^{\frac{v-1}{2}}\).     

Algebras of Convolution-Type Operators with Piecewise Slowly Oscillating Data on Weighted Lebesgue Spaces

Let \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) be the Banach algebra of all bounded linear operators acting on the weighted Lebesgue space \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\), where \(p\in (1,\infty )\) and w is a Muckenhoupt weight. We study the Banach subalgebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) of \({\mathcal B}_{p,w}\) generated by all multiplication operators aI (\(a\in \mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \)) and all convolution operators \(W^0(b)\) (\(b\in \mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \)), where \(\mathrm{PSO}^\diamond \subset L^\infty (\mathbb {R})\) and \(\mathrm{PSO}_{p,w}^\diamond \subset M_{p,w}\) are algebras of piecewise slowly oscillating functions that admit piecewise slowly oscillating discontinuities at arbitrary points of \(\mathbb {R}\cup \{\infty \}\), and \(M_{p,w}\) is the Banach algebra of Fourier multipliers on \(L^p(\mathbb {R},w)\). For any Muckenhoupt weight w, we study the Fredholmness in the Banach algebra \({\mathcal Z}_{p,w}\subset \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) generated by the operators \(aW^0(b)\) with slowly oscillating data \(a\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond \) and \(b\in \mathrm{SO}^\diamond _{p,w}\). Then, under some condition on the weight w, we complete constructing a Fredholm symbol calculus for the Banach algebra \(\mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in comparison with Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 74:377–415, 2012) and Karlovich and Loreto Hernández (Integr. Equations Oper. Theory 75:49–86, 2013) and establish a Fredholm criterion for the operators \(A\in \mathfrak {A}_{p,w}\) in terms of their symbols. A new approach to determine local spectra is found.     

Sharp Moser–Trudinger Inequalities on Hyperbolic Spaces with Exact Growth Condition

Let \(\Phi _{n}(x)=e^x-\sum _{j=0}^{n-2}\frac{x^j}{j!}\) and \(\alpha _{n} =n\omega _{n-1}^{\frac{1}{n-1}}\) be the sharp constant in Moser’s inequality (where \(\omega _{n-1}\) is the area of the surface of the unit \(n\)-ball in \(\mathbb {R}^n\)), and \(dV\) be the volume element on the \(n\)-dimensional hyperbolic space \((\mathbb {H}^n, g)\) (\(n\ge {2}\)). In this paper, we establish the following sharp Moser–Trudinger type inequalities with the exact growth condition on \(\mathbb {H}^n\):

For any \(u\in {W^{1,n}(\mathbb {H}^n)}\) satisfying \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), there exists a constant \(C(n)>0\) such that

$$\begin{aligned} \int _{\mathbb {H}^n}\frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}|u|^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}}}dV \le {C(n)\Vert u\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}. \end{aligned}$$

The power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) and the constant \(\alpha _{n}\) are optimal in the following senses:

1. (i)
   If the power \(\frac{n}{n-1}\) in the denominator is replaced by any \(p<\frac{n}{n-1}\), then there exists a sequence of functions \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha _{n}(|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV \rightarrow {\infty }. \end{aligned}$$
    
2. (ii)
   If \(\alpha >\alpha _{n}\), then there exists a sequence of function \(\{u_{k}\}\) such that \(\Vert \nabla _{g}u_{k}\Vert _{n}\le {1}\), but

   $$\begin{aligned} \frac{1}{\Vert u_{k}\Vert _{L^n}^{n}}\int _{\mathbb {H}^n} \frac{\Phi _{n}(\alpha (|u_{k}|)^{\frac{n}{n-1}})}{(1+|u_{k}|)^{p}}dV\rightarrow {\infty }, \end{aligned}$$

   for any \(p\ge {0}\).
    

This result sharpens the earlier work of the authors Lu and Tang (Adv Nonlinear Stud 13(4):1035–1052, 2013) on best constants for the Moser–Trudinger inequalities on hyperbolic spaces.

     

Notes on the Kazhdan–Lusztig Theorem on Equivalence of the Drinfeld Category and the Category of $\boldsymbol{U}_{\!\boldsymbol q}{\boldsymbol {\mathfrak g}}$-Modules

We discuss the proof of Kazhdan and Lusztig of the equivalence of the Drinfeld category \({\mathcal D}({\mathfrak g},\hbar)\) of \({\mathfrak g}\)-modules and the category of finite dimensional \(U_q{\mathfrak g}\)-modules, \(q=e^{\pi i\hbar}\), for \(\hbar\in{\mathbb C}\setminus{\mathbb Q}^*\). Aiming at operator algebraists the result is formulated as the existence for each \(\hbar\in i{\mathbb R}\) of a normalized unitary 2-cochain \({\mathcal F}\) on the dual \(\hat G\) of a compact simple Lie group G such that the convolution algebra of G with the coproduct twisted by \({\mathcal F}\) is *-isomorphic to the convolution algebra of the q-deformation G _q of G, while the coboundary of \({\mathcal F}^{-1}\) coincides with Drinfeld’s KZ-associator defined via monodromy of the Knizhnik–Zamolodchikov equations.     

Rotations by roots of unity and Diophantine approximation

For a fixed integer n, we study the question whether at least one of the numbers \(\mathfrak {R}X\omega ^k\), \(1\le k\le n\), is \(\varepsilon \)-close to an integer, for any possible value of \(X\in \mathbb {C}\), where \(\omega \) is a primitive nth root of unity. It turns out that there is always an X for which the above numbers are concentrated around \(1/2\,\mathrm{mod}\,1\). The shortest possible interval centered at 1 / 2 containing the fractional parts of all numbers \(\mathfrak {R}X\omega ^k\) depends only on the prime factors of n, rather than its magnitude. This is directly related to the so–called “pyjama” problem which was solved recently.     

Eichler’s commutation relation and some other invariant subspaces of Hecke operators

Let k be an odd positive integer, L a lattice on a regular positive definite k-dimensional quadratic space over \(\mathbb {Q}\), \(N_L\) the level of L, and \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  be the linear space of \(\theta \)-series attached to the distinct classes in the genus of L. We prove that, for an odd prime \(p|N_L\), if \(L_p=L_{p,1}\,\bot \, L_{p,2}\), where \(L_{p,1}\) is unimodular, \(L_{p,2}\) is (p)-modular, and \(\mathbb {Q}_pL_{p,2}\) is anisotropic, then \(\mathscr {M}(L;p):=\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\) \(+T_{p^2}.\) \(\mathscr {M}(L)\)  is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{p^2}\). If \(L_2\) is isometric to \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}\frac{1}{2}\\ \frac{1}{2}&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle 2\varepsilon \rangle \) or \(\left( \begin{array}{ll}0&{}1\\ 1&{}0\end{array}\right) ^{\kappa }\,\bot \, \langle \varepsilon \rangle \) with \(\varepsilon \in \mathbb {Z}_2^{\times }\) and \(\kappa :=\frac{k-1}{2}\), then \(\mathscr {M}(L;2):=T_{2^2}.\mathscr {M}(L)+T_{2^2}^2.\,\mathscr {M}(L)\) is stable under the Hecke operator \(T_{2^2}\). Furthermore, we determine some invariant subspaces of the cusp forms for the Hecke operators.     

Differentiability of arithmetic Fourier series arising from Eisenstein series

Let \(k\in \mathbb {N}^*\) be even. We consider two trigonometric series \( F_k(x)= \sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sigma _{k-1}(n)}{n^{k+1}} \sin (2\pi n x)\) and \(G_k(x)= \sum _{n=1}^\infty \frac{\sigma _{k-1}(n)}{n^{k+1}} \cos (2\pi n x),\) where \(\sigma _{k-1}\) is the divisor function. They converge on \(\mathbb {R}\) to continuous functions. In this paper, we examine the differentiability of \(F_k\) and \(G_k\). These functions are related to Eisenstein series, and their (quasi-)modular properties allow us to apply the method proposed by Itatsu in 1981 in the study of the Riemann series. We focus on the case \(k=2\) and we show that the sine series exhibits a different behaviour with respect to differentiability than the cosine series. We prove that the differentiability of \(F_2\) at an irrational x is related to the continued fraction expansion of x. We estimate the modulus of continuity of \(F_2\). We formulate a conjecture concerning differentiability of \(F_k\) and \(G_k\) for any k even.     

The Golod property of powers of the maximal ideal of a local ring

We identify minimal cases in which a power \(\mathfrak {m}^i\not =0\) of the maximal ideal of a local ring R is not Golod, i.e. the quotient ring \(R/\mathfrak {m}^i\) is not Golod. Complementary to a 2014 result by Rossi and ?ega, we prove that for a generic artinian Gorenstein local ring with \(\mathfrak {m}^4=0\ne \mathfrak {m}^3\), the quotient \(R/\mathfrak {m}^3\) is not Golod. This is provided that \(\mathfrak {m}\) is minimally generated by at least 3 elements. Indeed, we show that if \(\mathfrak {m}\) is 2-generated, then every power \(\mathfrak {m}^i\ne 0\) is Golod.
