The purpose of this survey paper is to bring to a large mathematical audience (containing also non-algebraists) some topics of invariant theory both in the classical commutative and the recent noncommutative case. We have included only…

We consider the complex reflection group \( \mathcal{G} \), identified as No. 8 in the Shephard-Todd classification. In this paper, we present computations of the vector-valued invariants associated with various representations of \(…

Let $V$ be an $n$-dimensional algebraic representation over an algebraically closed field $K$ of a group $G$. For $m > 0$, we study the invariant rings $K[V^{ m}]^G$ for the diagonal action of $G$ on $V^m$. In characteristic zero, a theorem…

The purpose of this paper is to prove the First and Second Fundamental Theorems of invariant theory for the complex special linear supergroup and discuss the superalgebra of invariants, via the super Plucker relations.

We compute the mod-2 cohomology of the collection of all symmetric groups as a Hopf ring, where the second product is the transfer product of Strickland and Turner. We first give examples of related Hopf rings from invariant theory and…

Given a Lie superalgebra \g, we introduce several variants of the representation ring, built as subrings and quotients of the ring R_{\Z_2}(\g) of virtual \g-supermodules (up to even isomorphisms). In particular, we consider the ideal…

A method to construct in explicit form the generators of the simple roots of an arbitrary finite-dimensional representation of a quantum or standard semisimple algebra is found. The method is based on general results from the global theory…

Let $V=\C^n$ be endowed with an orthogonal form and $G=\Or(V)$ be the corresponding orthogonal group. Brauer showed in 1937 that there is a surjective homomorphism $\nu:B_r(n)\to\End_G(V^{\otimes r})$, where $B_r(n)$ is the $r$-string…

We calculate the cobordism ring $\Omega^{C_2}_*$ of stably almost complex manifolds with involution, and investigate the $C_2$-spectrum $\Omega_{C_2}$ which represents it. We introduce the notion of a geometrically oriented $C_2$-spectrum,…

Consider the special linear group of degree $2$ over an arbitrary finite field, acting on the full space of $2 \times 2$-matrices by transpose. We explicitly construct a generating set for the corresponding modular matrix invariant ring,…

For a prime number p, we construct a generating set for the ring of invariants for the p+1 dimensional indecomposable modular representation of a cyclic group of order p^2. We then use the constructed invariants to describe the…

We revisit three results due to Morita expressing certain natural integral cohomology classes on the universal family of Riemann surfaces C_g, coming from the parallel symplectic form on the universal jacobian, in terms of the…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting linearly on the vector space $V$ over a field of arbitrary characteristic. The action is called {\em coregular} if the invariant ring is generated by algebraically independent homogeneous invariants and the…

In this paper, we prove two structure theorems for twisted Chevalley groups $G_\sigma (R)$ over a commutative ring $R$ with unity. The first theorem concerns the normality of $E'_\sigma (R,J)$, the elementary congruence subgroups at level…

We use the computer algebra system \textit{GRTensorII} to examine invariants polynomial in the Riemann tensor for class $B$ warped product spacetimes - those which can be decomposed into the coupled product of two 2-dimensional spaces, one…

We consider finite dimensional representations of the dihedral group $D_{2p}$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two where $p$ is an odd integer and study the degrees of generating and separating polynomials in the…

Let G denote either a special orthogonal group or a symplectic group defined over the complex numbers. We prove the following saturation result for G: given dominant weights \lambda^1, ..., \lambda^r such that the tensor product…

In [Trace identities and $\bf {Z}/2\bf {Z}$-graded invariants, {\it Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. \bf309} (1988), 581--589] we generalized the first and second fundamental theorems of invariant theory from the general linear group to the general…

The most basic structure of chiral conformal field theory (CFT) is the Verlinde ring. Freed-Hopkins-Teleman have expressed the Verlinde ring for the CFT's associated to loop groups, as twisted equivariant K-theory. We build on their work to…

In the two parts of this paper we solve a problem of De Rham, proving that Reidemeister torsion invariants determine topological equivalence of linear G-representations, for G a finite cyclic group. Methods in controlled K-theory and…
