Abstract

We provide an algorithm that takes as an input a given parametric family of homogeneous polynomials, which is invariant under the action of the general linear group, and an integer dd. It outputs the ideal of that family intersected with the space of homogeneous polynomials of degree dd. Our motivation comes from open problems, which ask to find equations for varieties of cubic and quartic symmetroids. The algorithm relies on a database of specific Young tableaux and highest weight polynomials. We provide the database and the implementation of the database construction algorithm. Moreover, we provide a julia implementation to run the algorithm using the database, so that more varieties of homogeneous polynomials can easily be treated in the future.
