Minimal Generators for Symmetric Ideals

Abstract

Let KK be a field, and let R=K[X]R = K[X] be the polynomial ring in an infinite collection XX of indeterminates over KK. Let SX{\mathfrak S}_{X} be the symmetric group of XX. The group SX{\mathfrak S}_{X} acts naturally on RR, and this in turn gives RR the structure of a left module over the (left) group ring R[SX]R[{\mathfrak S}_{X}]. A recent theorem of Aschenbrenner and Hillar states that the module RR is Noetherian. We prove that submodules of RR can have any number of minimal generators.
