Separating invariants for the basic G_a-actions

Commutative Algebra 2013-01-23 v1

Abstract

We explicitly construct a finite set of separating invariants for the basic \Ga\Ga-actions. These are the finite dimensional indecomposable rational linear representations of the additive group \Ga\Ga of a field of characteristic zero, and their invariants are the kernel of the Weitzenb\"ock derivation Dn=x0x1+...+xn1xnD_{n}=x_{0}\frac{\partial}{\partial{x_{1}}}+...+ x_{n-1}\frac{\partial}{\partial{x_{n}}}.
