We study the ring R(n,m) of invariants for the left-right action of SL_n \times SL_n on m-tuples of n by n complex matrices. We show that R(3,m) is generated by invariants of degree less equal 309 for all m. Then, we use a combinatorial…

We study the left-right action of $\operatorname{SL}_n \times \operatorname{SL}_n$ on $m$-tuples of $n \times n$ matrices with entries in an infinite field $K$. We show that invariants of degree $n^2- n$ define the null cone. Consequently,…

Let $R$ be a commutative ring with identity and let $M$ be an $R$-module which is generated by $\mu$ elements but not fewer. We denote by $\operatorname{SL}_n(R)$ the group of the $n \times n$ matrices over $R$ with determinant $1$. We…

It is well known that the ring of polynomial invariants of a reductive group is finitely generated. However, it is difficult to give strong upper bounds on the degrees of the generators, especially over fields of positive characteristic. In…

Let $\mathcal M_{mn}=\mathcal M_{mn}(\mathbb F)$ denote the set of all $m\times n$ matrices over a field $\mathbb F$, and fix some $n\times m$ matrix $A\in\mathcal M_{nm}$. An associative operation $\star$ may be defined on $\mathcal…

Working over an algebraically closed base field $k$ of characteristic 2, the ring of invariants $R^G$ is studied, where $G$ is the orthogonal group O(n) or the special orthogonal group SO(n), acting naturally on the coordinate ring $R$ of…

We determine the minimal number of separating invariants for the invariant ring of a matrix group $G < \mathrm{GL}_n(\mathbb{F}_q)$ over the finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We show that this minimal number can be obtained with invariants of…

Suppose $F$ is an infinite field and let $f \in F\{X_1, \dots,X_m\}$ be a noncommutative polynomial. Partially answering a query of Makar-Limanov, we show that there are numbers $d$ and $m'$ such that, if $F$ is closed under taking $d$th…
