Draisma's topological noetherianity conjecture for the affine infinite Grassmannian
Let be a field. Define the affine infinite Grassmannian , and let be the infinite symmetric group acting on it by permutation matrices. Let be the direct-limit subgroup formed by the normalizers of the standard maximal tori.
Draisma's conjecture. The affine infinite Grassmannian is topologically -noetherian: every descending chain of -stable Zariski-closed subsets stabilizes. A weaker form asserts topological -noetherianity, while a stronger form asserts that every ascending chain of -stable ideals in its affine coordinate ring stabilizes.
The paper disproves the stronger form by exhibiting an ascending chain of -stable ideals that does not stabilize. Thus the topological conjecture and its weaker -form remain unresolved in the supplied text.
