Poincaré series of compressed local Artinian rings with odd top socle degree

Abstract: We define a notion of compressed local Artinian ring that does not require the ring to contain a field. Let $(R,\mathfrak m)$ be a compressed local Artinian ring with odd top socle degree $s$, at least five, and $\operatorname{socle}(R)\cap \mathfrak m^{s-1}=\mathfrak m^s$. We prove that the Poincar\'e series of all finitely generated modules over $R$ are rational, sharing a common denominator, and that there is a Golod homomorphism from a complete intersection onto $R$.
