-Catalan numbers and generators for the radical ideal defining the diagonal locus of $(\C^2)^n$
arXiv:0909.1612
Abstract
Let be the ideal generated by alternating polynomials in two sets of variables. Haiman proved that the -Catalan number is the Hilbert series of the graded vector space spanned by a minimal set of generators for . In this paper we give simple upper bounds on in terms of partition numbers, and find all bi-degrees such that achieve the upper bounds. For such bi-degrees, we also find explicit bases for . The main idea is to define and study a nontrivial linear map from to a polynomial ring $\C[ρ_1, ρ_2,...]$.
