Abstract: Let $ R = K[X]$ be the polynomial ring in infinitely many indeterminates $ X$ over a field $ K$, and let $ {\mathfrak{S}}_{X}$ be the symmetric group of $ X$. The group $ {\mathfrak{S}}_{X}$ acts naturally on $ R$, and this in turn gives $ R$ the structure of a module over the group ring $ R[{\mathfrak{S}}_{X}]$. A recent theorem of Aschenbrenner and Hillar states that the module $ R$ is Noetherian. We address whether submodules of $ R$ can have any number of minimal generators, answering this question positively.
