Chevalley's theorem states that for any simple finite dimensional Lie algebra G (1) the restriction homomorphism of the algebra of polynomials on G onto the Cartan subalgebra H induces an isomorphism between the algebra of G-invariant…
Chevalley's theorem and it's converse, the Sheppard-Todd theorem, assert that finite reflection groups are distinguished by the fact that the ring of invariant polynomials is freely generated. We show that in the Euclidean case, a weaker…
Let $W$ be a finite reflection group. A $W$-invariant function of class~$C^{\infty}$ may be expressed as a functions of class $C^{\infty}$ of the basic invariants. In finite class of differentiability, the situation is not this simple.…
Let $W$ be a rank $n$ irreducible finite reflection group and let $p_1(x),\ldots,p_n(x)$, $x\in\mathbb{R}^n$, be a basis of algebraically independent $W$-invariant real homogeneous polynomials. The orbit map $\overline…
A closed set $F$ is Whitney 1-regular if for each compact $K\subset F$, the geodesic distance in $K$ is equivalent to the Euclidean distance. Let $P$ be the Chevalley map defined by an integrity basis of the algebra of polynomials invariant…
We generalize Chevalley's theorem about restriction of \mathfrak{g}-invariant polynomial functions \mathfrak{g}->C to W-invariant functions on the Cartan \mathfrak{h}->C. We consider the case when \mathfrak{g} is replaced by a quantum group…
By a theorem of Chevalley the image of a morphism of varieties is a constructible set. The algebraic version of this fact is usually stated as a result on "extension of specializations" or "lifting of prime ideals". We present a difference…
We prove the following generalization of the classical Shephard-Todd-Chevalley Theorem. Let $G$ be a finite group of graded algebra automorphisms of a skew polynomial ring $A:=k_{p_{ij}}[x_1,...,x_n]$. Then the fixed subring $A^G$ has…
We obtain a quantitative version of the classical Chevalley-Weil theorem for curves. Let $\phi : \tilde{C} \to C$ be an unramified morphism of non-singular plane projective curves defined over a number field $K$. We calculate an effective…
We define a GL-variety to be a (typically infinite dimensional) algebraic variety equipped with an action of the infinite general linear group under which the coordinate ring forms a polynomial representation. Such varieties have been used…
Consider a crystallographic root system together with its Weyl group $W$ acting on the weight lattice $M$. Let $Z[M]^W$ and $S^*(M)^W$ be the $W$-invariant subrings of the integral group ring $Z[M]$ and the symmetric algebra $S^*(M)$…
Let (g,k) be a reductive symmetric superpair of even type, i.e. so that there exists an even Cartan subspace a in p. The restriction map S(p^*)^k->S(a^*)^W where W=W(g_0:a) is the Weyl group, is injective. We determine its image explicitly.…
Let $W$ be an $n$-dimensional vector space over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$ of any characteristic and $mW$ denote the direct sum of $m$ copies of $W$. Let $\mathbb{F}_q[mW]^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ and $\mathbb{F}_q(mW)^{{\rm GL}(W)}$ denote the…
We prove, under some mild hypothesis, that an \'etale cover of curves defined over a number field has infinitely many specializations into an everywhere unramified extension of number fields. This constitutes an "absolute" version of the…
If $(G,V)$ is a polar representation with Cartan subspace $\mathfrak c$ and Weyl group $W$, it is shown that there is a natural morphism of Poisson schemes $\mathfrak c \oplus {\mathfrak c}^*/W \to V\oplus V^*/\!\!/\!\!/ G$. This morphism…
Let $\mathfrak g$ be a simple Lie algebra with Cartan subalgebra $\mathfrak h$ and Weyl group $W$. We build up a graded map $(\mathcal H\otimes \bigwedge\mathfrak h\otimes \mathfrak h)^W\to (\bigwedge \mathfrak g\otimes \mathfrak…
We prove a higher-dimensional Chevalley restriction theorem for orthogonal groups, which was conjectured by Chen and Ng\^{o} for reductive groups. In characteristic $p>2$, we also prove a weaker statement. In characteristic $0$, the theorem…
First and second fundamental theorems are given for polynomial invariants of a class of pseudo-reflection groups (including the Weyl groups of type $B_n$), under the assumption that the order of the group is invertible in the base field.…
For an irreducible complex reflection group $W$ of rank $n$ containing $N$ reflections, we put $g=2N/n$ and construct a $(g+1)^n$-dimensional irreducible representation of the Cherednik algebra which is (as a vector space) a quotient of the…
After having established elementary results on the relationship between a finite complex (pseudo-)reflection group W < GL(V) and its reflection arrangement A, we prove that the action of W on A is canonically related with other natural…
