Abstract

This article is motivated by some results from Chlebowitz and Külshammer on how the structure of a symmetric local algebra is influenced by its center. They have shown that a symmetric local algebra is almost always commutative if its center is at most 5-dimensional. In this article we are interested in how the ideal property of the radical of the center of a symmetric local algebra is influenced by the dimension of the algebra itself. $~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~$
