Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem for skew polynomial rings

Rings and Algebras 2008-06-20 v1

Abstract

We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let GG be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring A:=kpij[x1,...,xn]A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]. Then the fixed subring AGA^G has finite global dimension if and only if GG is generated by quasi-reflections. In this case the fixed subring AGA^G is isomorphic a skew polynomial ring with possibly different pijp_{ij}'s. A version of the theorem is proved also for abelian groups acting on general quantum polynomial rings.
