Sum's conjecture on the recursive construction of minimal generators for polynomial algebras
Let be the polynomial algebra on generators over , let act by Steenrod squares, and let denote the set of -minimal monomial generators in degree . For , write , and let and be the maps defined above. If
, and there exists with satisfying the condition in equation, then
Sum's conjecture.
Moreover, if is a weight vector of degree , then
The conjecture proposes that the maps preserve the recursively defined minimal generating sets, including their weight-vector components, and is intended to support the determination of minimal -generators for in positive degrees. The supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
