Abstract

We let S=C[xi,j] denote the ring of polynomial functions on the space of m×n matrices and consider the action of the group GL=GLm×GLn via row and column operations on the matrix entries. For a GL-invariant ideal IS, we show that the linear strands of its minimal free resolution translate via the BGG correspondence to modules over the general linear Lie superalgebra gl(m|n). When I=Iλ is the ideal generated by the GL-orbit of a highest weight vector of weight λ, we give a conjectural description of the classes of these gl(m|n)-modules in the Grothendieck group, and prove that our prediction is correct for the first strand of the minimal free resolution.
