Over a field of characteristic zero, we prove that for each r, there exists a constant C(r) so that the prime ideal of the rth secant variety of any Veronese embedding of any projective space is generated by polynomials of degree at most C(r). The main idea is to consider the coordinate ring of all of the ambient spaces of the Veronese embeddings at once by endowing it with the structure of a Hopf ring, and to show that its ideals are finitely generated. We also prove a similar statement for…

Syzygies of bounded rank symmetric tensors are generated in bounded degree
We study the syzygies of secant ideals of Veronese subrings of a fixed commutative graded algebra over a field of characteristic 0. One corollary is that the degrees of the minimal generators of the…

We prove that any finite-degree polynomial functor over an infinite field is topologically Noetherian. This theorem is motivated by the recent resolution, by Ananyan-Hochster, of Stillman’s…
GL-EQUIVARIANT MODULES OVER POLYNOMIAL RINGS IN INFINITELY MANY VARIABLES. II
Twisted commutative algebras (tca’s) have played an important role in the nascent field of representation stability. Let $A_{d}$ be the tca freely generated by $d$ indeterminates of degree 1. In a…

A quandle is an algebraic structure which attempts to generalize group conjugation. These structures have been studied extensively due to their connections with knot theory, algebraic combinatorics,…
An application of the theory of FI-algebras to graph configuration spaces
Recent work of An, Drummond-Cole, and Knudsen, as well as the author, has shown that the homology groups of configuration spaces of graphs can be equipped with the structure of a finitely generated…
Are all Secant Varieties of Segre Products Arithmetically Cohen-Macaulay?
When present, the Cohen-Macaulay property can be useful for finding the minimal defining equations of an algebraic variety. It is conjectured that all secant varieties of Segre products of projective…

TLDR
Partial Young flattenings are introduced and used to give a lower bound on the border rank of monomials which agrees with Landsberg and Teitler's upper bound.
The representation theory of the increasing monoid
We study the representation theory of the increasing monoid. Our results provide a fairly comprehensive picture of the representation category: for example, we describe the Grothendieck group…
FI- and OI-modules with varying coefficients
We introduce FI-algebras over a commutative ring $K$ and the category of FI-modules over an FI-algebra. Such a module may be considered as a family of invariant modules over compatible varying…
Noetherian properties in representation theory
The goal of this expository article, based on a lecture I gave at the 2016 ICRA, is to explain some recent applications of "categorical symmetries" in topology and algebraic geometry with an eye…
