Periodicity conjecture for symmetric-power quotients of Q∗Q^*

About 8 years old · traced to

Let d,e,n∈Nd,e,n\in\mathbb{N} satisfy the hypotheses of Corollary $$. Write Qm[r]Q^m[r] for the indicated filtration term, and let

∙1e−d:G0(Fn≥d−(n−d))⟶≅G0(Fn+e−d≥e−(n−d))\bullet 1^{e-d}:G_0\left(\mathscr{F}_n^{\geq d-(n-d)}\right)\stackrel{\cong}{\longrightarrow}G_0\left(\mathscr{F}_{n+e-d}^{\geq e-(n-d)}\right)

be the isomorphism of Grothendieck groups.

Periodicity conjecture. Under this isomorphism,

[Qn/Qn[d−1]]⟼[Qn+e−d/Qn+e−d[e−1]].\left[Q^n/Q^n[d-1]\right]\longmapsto\left[Q^{n+e-d}/Q^{n+e-d}[e-1]\right].

The conjecture predicts periodicity of these symmetric-power quotients under representation stability. It is known when n−d≤5n-d\leq 5, while the general case remains open; the stated hypotheses include the stability conditions from Corollary $$.
