Hilbert series and Lefschetz properties of dimension one almost complete intersections

We generalize some properties related to Hilbert series and Lefschetz properties of Milnor algebras of projective hypersurfaces with isolated singularities to the more general case of an almost complete intersection ideal $J$ of dimension one. When the saturation $I$ of $J$ is a complete intersection, we get explicit formulas for a number of related invariants. New examples of hypersurfaces $V:f=0$ in $P^n$ whose Jacobian ideal $J_f$ satisfies this property and with explicit nontrivial Alexander polynomials are given in any dimension. A Lefschetz type property for the graded quotient $I/J$ is proved for $n=2$ and a counterexample due to A. Conca is given for such a property when $n=3$. Two conjectures are also stated in the paper.
