Locally nilpotent module derivations and the fourteenth problem of Hilbert

Abstract

Given a locally nilpotent derivation on an affine algebra BB over a field kk of characteristic zero, we consider a finitely generated BB-module MM which admits a locally nilpotent module derivation δM\delta_M (see Definition 1.1 below). Let A=\KerδA=\Ker \delta and M0=\KerδMM_0=\Ker \delta_M. We ask if M0M_0 is a finitely generated AA-module. In general, there exist counterexamples which are closely related to the fourteenth problem of Hilbert. We also look for some sufficient conditions for finite generation.
