We prove that the killing rate of certain degree-lowering “recursion operators” on a
polynomial algebra over a finite field grows slower than linearly in the degree
of the polynomial attacked. We also explain the motivating application:
obtaining a lower bound for the Krull dimension of a local component of a big
Hecke algebra in the genus-zero case. We sketch the application for
and
in level one.
The case
was first established in by Nicolas and Serre in 2012 using different methods.
