Stillman's question for twisted commutative algebras

Commutative Algebra 2024-07-19 v2

Abstract

Let An,m\mathbf{A}_{n, m} be the polynomial ring Sym(CnCm)\text{Sym}(\mathbf{C}^n \otimes \mathbf{C}^m) with the natural action of GLm(C)\mathbf{GL}_m(\mathbf{C}). We construct a family of GLm(C)\mathbf{GL}_m(\mathbf{C})-stable ideals Jn,mJ_{n, m} in An,m\mathbf{A}_{n, m}, each equivariantly generated by one homogeneous polynomial of degree 22. Using the Ananyan-Hochster principle, we show that the regularity of this family is unbounded. This negatively answers a question raised by Erman-Sam-Snowden on a generalization of Stillman's conjecture.
