Abstract

We write P\mathbb P for the polynomial algebra in one variable over the finite field Z2\mathbb Z_2 and Pt=Z2[x1,,xt]\mathbb P^{\otimes t} = \mathbb Z_2[x_1, \ldots, x_t] for its tt-fold tensor product with itself. We grade Pt\mathbb P^{\otimes t} by assigning degree 11 to each generator. We are interested in determining a minimal set of generators for the ring of invariants (Pt)Gt(\mathbb P^{\otimes t})^{G_t} as a module over Steenrod ring, A2.\mathscr A_2. Here GtG_t is a subgroup of the general linear group GL(t,Z2).GL(t, \mathbb Z_2). An equivalent problem is to find a monomial basis of the space of "unhit" elements, Z2A2(Pt)Gt\mathbb Z_2\otimes_{\mathscr A_2} (\mathbb P^{\otimes t})^{G_t} in each tt and degree n0.n\geq 0. The structure of this tensor product is proved surprisingly difficult and has been not yet known for t5,t\geq 5, even for the trivial subgroup Gt={e}.G_t = \{e\}. In the present paper, we consider the subgroup Gt={e}G_t = \{e\} for t{5,6},t \in \{5, 6\}, and obtain some new results on A2\mathscr A_2-generators of (Pt)Gt(\mathbb P^{\otimes t})^{G_t} in some degrees. At the same time, some of their applications have been proposed. We also provide an algorithm in MAGMA for verifying the results. This study can be understood as a continuation of our recent works in [23, 25].
