On a matrix nilpotent filter (Q1938645)

Consider the \(n\times n\) matrix \(M=(x_{ij})_{i,j=1}^n\) whose entries are \(n^2\) commuting indeterminants \(X=\{x_{ij} \mid 1\leq i,j\leq n\}\). The entries \(f_{ij}^{(s)}\) of the power \(M^s\) are used to define homogeneous ideals \(F^{(s)}= ( f_{ij}^{(s)} \mid 1\leq i,j\leq n)\) in the polynomial ring \(k[X]\) for a field \(k\). This definition yields a decreasing chain of ideals, the so-called \textit{matrix nilpotent filter} on \(k[X]\). The author studies the combinatorial characteristics of these ideals, with a particular focus on \(n=2\).
