Landweber–Stong depth conjecture for finite general linear groups

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let HH be a subgroup of GLn(Fq)GL_n({\mathbb F}_q) acting on S=Fq[x]S={\mathbb F}_q[\mathbf{x}], and let Dn,jD_{n,j} denote the Dickson polynomials. Landweber–Stong conjecture. The depth of the invariant ring SHS^H is the maximum integer ii for which

Dn,n−i,Dn,n−i+1,…,Dn,n−2,Dn,n−1D_{n,n-i},D_{n,n-i+1},\ldots,D_{n,n-2},D_{n,n-1}

form a regular sequence on SHS^H. The source notes that this conjecture was proven when q=pq=p is prime by Bourguiba and Zarati; the general case is not resolved in the supplied text.
