Generalized Representation Stability and FI_d-modules

In this note we consider the complex representation theory of FI_d, a natural generalization of the category FI of finite sets and injections. We prove that finitely generated FI_d-modules exhibit behaviors in the spirit of Church-Farb representation stability theory, generalizing a theorem of Church, Ellenberg, and Farb which connects finite generation of FI-modules to representation stability.
