Abstract: Let A be a commutative Noetherian ring, and let R=A[X] be the polynomial ring in an infinite collection X of indeterminates over A. Let mathfrakSX be the group of permutations of X. The group mathfrakSX acts on R in a natural way, and this in turn gives R the structure of a left module over the left group ring R[mathfrakSX]. We prove that all ideals of R invariant under the action of mathfrakSX are finitely generated as R[mathfrakSX]-modules. The proof involves introducing a certain well-quasi-ordering on monomials and developing a theory of Gr"obner bases and reduction in this setting. We also consider the concept of an invariant chain of ideals for finite-dimensional polynomial rings and relate it to the finite generation result mentioned above. Finally, a motivating question from chemistry is presented, with the above framework providing a suitable context in which to study it.
