Abstract: A set of polynomials M is called a {it submodule} of mathbbC[x1,dots,xn] if M is a translation invariant linear subspace of mathbbC[x1,dots,xn]. We present a description of the submodules of mathbbC[x,y] in terms of a special type of submodules. We say that the submodule M of mathbbC[x,y] is an {it L-module of order} s if, whenever F(x,y)=sumn=0Nfn(x)cdotyninM is such that f0=ldots=fs−1=0, then F=0. We show that the proper submodules of mathbbC[x,y] are the sums Md+M, where Md=FinmathbbC[x,y]colonextitdegxF<d, and M is an L-module. We give a construction of L-modules parametrized by sequences of complex numbers. A submodule MsubseteqmathbbC[x1,dots,xn] is {it decomposable} if it is the sum of finitely many proper submodules of M. Otherwise M is {it indecomposable}. It is easy to see that every submodule of mathbbC[x1,dots,xn] is the sum of finitely many indecomposable submodules. In mathbbC[x,y] every indecomposable submodule is either an L-module or equals Md for some d. In the other direction we show that Md is indecomposable for every d, and so is every L-module of order 1. Finally, we prove that there exists a submodule of mathbbC[x,y] (in fact, an L-module of order 1) which is not relatively closed in mathbbC[x,y]. This answers a problem posed by L. Sz'ekelyhidi in 2011.
