The non-Lefschetz locus

For monomial complete intersections, we completely describe the non-Lefschetz locus. For general complete intersections of codimension three and four we prove that the non-Lefschetz locus has the expected codimension, which in particular means that it is empty in a large family of examples. For general Gorenstein algebras of codimension three with a given Hilbert function, we prove that the non-Lefschetz locus has the expected codimension if the first difference of the Hilbert function is of decreasing type. For completeness we also give a full description of the non-Lefschetz locus for artinian algebras of codimension two.
