Abstract

Let G\GL(V)G\subset\GL(V) be a complex reductive group. Let GG' denote {ϕ\GL(V)pϕ=pfor allp\C[V]G}\{\phi\in\GL(V)\mid p\circ\phi=p\text{for all} p\in\C[V]^G\}. We show that, in general, G=GG'=G. In case GG is the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra \lieg\lieg, we show that GG' is an order 2 extension of GG. We also calculate GG' for all representations of \SL2\SL_2.
