The four-variable power-sum regular-sequence conjecture from computer calculations
The four-variable power-sum regular-sequence conjecture from computer calculations
Let be the power sum symmetric polynomial of degree in . Let with . The four-variable power-sum conjecture. The sequence is regular if and only if the following conditions hold: (1) if is odd and is even, then this holds for every ; (2) if and are odd, then is even; (3) if with odd, then it holds for every when , while when it holds for every of the form ; (4) if with even, then and ; and (5) is not of the form . Here the parameters range over as in the source. Computer calculations using CoCoA motivate this proposed classification, and the supplied text gives no proof or resolution.
