$d$-Koszul algebras, 2-$d$ determined algebras and 2-$d$-Koszul algebras

Abstract

The relationship between an algebra and its associated monomial algebra is investigated when at least one of the algebras is $d$-Koszul. It is shown that an algebra which has a reduced \grb basis that is composed of homogeneous elements of degree $d$ is $d$-Koszul if and only if its associated monomial algebra is $d$-Koszul. The class of 2-$d$-determined algebras and the class 2-$d$-Koszul algebras are introduced. In particular, it shown that 2-$d$-determined monomial algebras are 2-$d$-Koszul algebras and the structure of the ideal of relations of such an algebra is completely determined.
