Equivariant prime ideals for infinite dimensional supergroups

Abstract

Let AA be a commutative algebra equipped with an action of a group GG. The so-called GG-primes of AA are the equivariant analogs of prime ideals, and of central importance in equivariant commutative algebra. When GG is an infinite dimensional group, these ideals can be very subtle: for instance, distinct GG-primes can have the same radical. In previous work, the second author showed that if GG is GL{\bf GL} and AA is a polynomial representation, then these pathologies disappear when working with super vector spaces; this leads to a geometric description of GG-primes of AA. In the present paper, we construct an abstract framework around this result, and apply the framework to prove analogous results for other (super)groups. We give some applications to the isomeric determinantal ideals (more commonly known as "queer determinantal ideals").
