Abstract
Let be a smooth manifold of dimension , and let be the dense open subbundle in of -covectors of maximal rank. The algebra of -invariant smooth functions of first order on is proved to be isomorphic to the algebra of smooth -invariant functions on , being a fixed point in , and a fixed element in . The maximum number of functionally independent invariants is computed.
