Finite generation conjecture for invariant jet polynomials under reparametrization

From papers

Let GkG_k be the group of kk-jet reparametrizations acting on the space of kk-jets JkCnJ_k\mathbb{C}^n, with coordinates represented by f(0),f(0),,f(k)(0)f'(0),f”(0),\ldots,f^{(k)}(0). The induced action of GkG_k on the polynomial ring of these jet variables defines the invariant ring

O(JkCn)Gk=C[f(0),f(0),,f(k)(0)]Gk.\mathcal{O}(J_k \mathbb{C}^n)^{G_k}=\mathbb{C}[f'(0),f”(0),\ldots,f^{(k)}(0)]^{G_k}.

Finite generation conjecture. The ring of invariant polynomials

O(JkCn)Gk=C[f(0),f(0),,f(k)(0)]Gk\mathcal{O}(J_k \mathbb{C}^n)^{G_k}=\mathbb{C}[f'(0),f”(0),\ldots,f^{(k)}(0)]^{G_k}

is finitely generated.

Determining finite generation for these complex graded invariant algebras has long been an open problem in the area, and the conjecture proposes finite generation for the invariant polynomials of the non-reductive reparametrization group GkG_k.
