Hook algebras and determinantal varieties
Abstract
In characteristic zero, we prove that the Tor algebras of the generic, symmetric, and skew-symmetric determinantal rings are Koszul with respect to a natural regrading. In particular, their Eilenberg--Moore spectral sequence degenerates, which allows us to explicitly determine the Poincaré series of their residue fields and answers a problem raised by Avramov. To do this, we construct the universal hook algebra and prove that it has a quadratic Gröbner basis and thus is Koszul. This leads to a new standard monomial construction of the irreducible polynomial GL-representations, alongside the Schur and Weyl functors, which is of independent interest.
