Abstract

The variety of bicommutative algebras consists of all nonassociative algebras satisfying the polynomial identities of right- and left-commutativity (x1x2)x3=(x1x3)x2(x_1x_2)x_3=(x_1x_3)x_2 and x1(x2x3)=x2(x1x3)x_1(x_2x_3)=x_2(x_1x_3). Let FdF_d be the free dd-generated bicommutative algebra over a field KK of characteristic 0. We study the algebra FdGF_d^G of invariants of a subgroup GG of the general linear group GLd(K)GL_d(K). When GG is finite we search for analogies of classical results of invariant theory of finite groups acting on polynomial algebras: the Endlichkeitssatz of Emmy Noether, the Molien formula and the Chevalley-Shephard-Todd theorem and show the similarities and the differences in the case of bicommutative algebras. We also describe the symmetric polynomials in FdF_d.
