Abstract

Homogeneous polynomials $f_1, f_2, \dots, f_n$ form a regular sequence in the polynomial ring $\mathbb{C}[x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n]$ when the reduced affine variety of these polynomials only contains the origin. In this report, we will be particularly interested in regular sequences of power sum symmetric polynomials and complete symmetric polynomials in three variables. As a result of this investigation, we are able to obtain a better understanding of when regular sequences of these polynomials occur.
