Lewis–Reiner–Stanton parabolic Hilbert-series conjecture

About 9 years old · traced to

Let G=GLn(Fq)G=GL_n(\mathbb{F}_q) act on S=Fq[x1,…,xn]S=\mathbb{F}_q[x_1,\ldots,x_n], let Q(m,n)=S/(x1qm,…,xnqm)Q(m,n)=S/(x_1^{q^m},\ldots,x_n^{q^m}), and let PαP_{\alpha} be the parabolic subgroup associated with a composition α=(α1,…,αℓ)\alpha=(\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{\ell}) of nn. For β∈Z≥0ℓ\beta\in\mathbb{Z}_{\geq 0}^{\ell}, write β≤α\beta\leq\alpha when βi≤αi\beta_i\leq\alpha_i for every ii, write ∣β∣=∑j=1ℓβj|\beta|=\sum_{j=1}^{\ell}\beta_j, and set Bi=∑j=1iβjB_i=\sum_{j=1}^{i}\beta_j. Lewis–Reiner–Stanton's parabolic conjecture. For m≥0m\geq 0, the invariant ring Q(m,n)PαQ(m,n)^{P_{\alpha}} has Hilbert series

Hilb⁡(Q(m,n)Pα,t)=∑β≤αβ≤mte(m,α,β)[mβ,m−∣β∣]q,t,\operatorname{Hilb}(Q(m,n)^{P_{\alpha}},t)=\sum_{\substack{\beta\leq\alpha\beta\leq m}}t^{e(m,\alpha,\beta)}\genfrac{[}{]}{0pt}{}{m}{\beta,m-|\beta|}_{q,t},

where

e(m,α,β)=∑i=1ℓ(αi−βi)(qm−qBi).e(m,\alpha,\beta)=\sum_{i=1}^{\ell}(\alpha_i-\beta_i)(q^m-q^{B_i}).

This conjecture predicts the Hilbert series of invariant rings of truncated polynomial rings under parabolic subgroups; the supplied source does not indicate whether it has been resolved.
