A new proof of Stanley's theorem on the strong Lefschetz property

Abstract: A standard graded artinian monomial complete intersection algebra $A=\Bbbk[x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n]/(x_1^{a_1},x_2^{a_2},\ldots,x_n^{a_n})$, with $\Bbbk$ a field of characteristic zero, has the strong Lefschetz property due to Stanley in 1980. In this paper, we give a new proof for this result by using only the basic properties of linear algebra. Furthermore, our proof is still true in the case where the characteristic of $\Bbbk$ is greater than the socle degree of $A$, namely $a_1+a_2+\cdots+a_n - n$.
