Abstract

Let $V$ be a complex representation of a finite group $G$ of order $g$. Derksen conjectured that the $p$th syzygies of the invariant ring $\text{Sym\,}(V)^G$ are generated in degrees $\le (p+1)g$. We point out that a simple application of the theory of twisted commutative algebras\endash/using an idea due to Weyl\endash/gives the weaker bound $pg^3$, almost for free.
