The conjectural description of the Grothendieck group of divided power algebras

About 10 years old · traced to

Let \bD\bD be the divided power algebra over \bk\bk, let RR be the relevant grading ring, and let \cCn\cC_n be the category of finitely generated \bk\bk-modules supported on ⋃n∣hV(πh)\bigcup_{n\mid h}V(\pi_h). Write \cKn=\rK0(\cCn)\cK_n=\rK_0(\cC_n), and let \ul\sK\ul{\sK} be the quotient of

⨁n≥1\cKn⊗\bZRn\bigoplus_{n\geq 1}\cK_n\otimes_{\bZ}R_n

by the relations

[M]m1−tn=[M]n1−tn\frac{[M]_m}{1-t^n}=\frac{[M]_n}{1-t^n}

for M∈\cCmM\in\cC_m and n∣mn\mid m. Define the RR-linear map φ ⁣:\ul\sK→\ul\rK(\bD)\varphi\colon\ul{\sK}\to\ul{\rK}(\bD) by

φ([\bk/\fa]n1−tn)=1−th1−tn[M(\fa,h)]\varphi\left(\frac{[\bk/\fa]_n}{1-t^n}\right)=\frac{1-t^h}{1-t^n}[M(\fa,h)]

when n∣hn\mid h and \fa\fa contains πh\pi_h. The conjectural description. The map φ\varphi is an isomorphism. This would give a precise description of the Grothendieck group of finitely presented graded modules over the divided power algebra, refining the preceding expectation that the coefficients in Hilbert-series decompositions are well-defined in the groups R⊗\bZ\rK0(\cCn)R\otimes_{\bZ}\rK_0(\cC_n).
