REVERSE MATHEMATICS, YOUNG DIAGRAMS, AND THE ASCENDING CHAIN CONDITION
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 19 June 2017
Abstract
Let S be the group of finitely supported permutations of a countably infinite set. Let $K[S]$ be the group algebra of S over a field K of characteristic 0. According to a theorem of Formanek and Lawrence,
$K[S]$ satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided ideals. We study the reverse mathematics of this theorem, proving its equivalence over
$RC{A_0}$ (or even over
$RCA_0^{\rm{*}}$) to the statement that
${\omega ^\omega }$ is well ordered. Our equivalence proof proceeds via the statement that the Young diagrams form a well partial ordering.
