The finite-generation conjecture for gauge modules

At least 8 years old · documented by

Let XX be an affine variety with coordinate algebra AXA_X, let AVXA\mathcal{V}_X denote the corresponding algebra of functions and vector fields, and let a gauge module mean an AVXA\mathcal{V}_X-module locally realized as an AA-submodule of A(h)⊗UA_{(h)}\otimes U for a finite-dimensional module UU of the Lie algebra of vector fields of non-negative degree, with the action involving gauge fields. Gauge-module conjecture. Every AVXA\mathcal{V}_X-module that is finitely generated over AXA_X is a gauge module. This would indicate that gauge modules form a broad class encompassing all finitely generated modules over the algebra of functions and vector fields; the paper provides the conjecture but no resolution is stated in the supplied text.
