Nilpotent modules over polynomial rings

Abstract: Let

m a t h b b K

be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero,

m a t h b b K [X]

the polynomial ring in

n

variables. The vector space

T_{n} = m a t h b b K [X]

is a

m a t h b b K [X]

-module with the action

x_{i} c d o t v = v_{{x_{i}}^{'}}

for

v i n T_{n}

. Every finite dimensional submodule

V

of

T_{n}

is nilpotent, i.e. every polynomial

f i n m a t h b b K [X]

with zero constant term acts nilpotently (by multiplication) on

V .

We prove that every nilpotent

m a t h b b K [X]

-module

V

of finite dimension over

m a t h b b K

with one dimensional socle can be isomorphically embedded in the module

T_{n}

. The automorphism groups of the module

T_{n}

and its finite dimensional monomial submodules are found. Similar results are obtained for (non-nilpotent) finite dimensional

m a t h b b K [X]

-modules with one dimensional socle.
