A linear locally nilpotent derivation of the polynomial algebra $K[X_m]$ in $m$ variables over a field $K$ of characteristic 0 is called a Weitzenb\"ock derivation. It is well known from the classical theorem of Weitzenb\"ock that the…
Let $K$ be an infinite field and $K< X> =K< X_1,...,X_n>$ the free associative algebra generated by $X=\{X_1,...,X_n\}$ over $K$. It is proved that if $I$ is a two-sided ideal of $K< X>$ such that the $K$-algebra $A=K< X> /I$ is almost…

Suppose that G is a linearly reductive group. We study the minimal free resolution of the invariant ring. If G is a finite linearly reductive group, then the ring of invariants is generated in degree at most |G|, the group order. We prove…

Let $A$ be an associative algebra graded by a finite group $G$ over a field ${F}$ of characteristic zero. One associates to $A$ the sequence of $G$-graded codimensions $c_n^G(A)$, $n=1,2,\ldots$, which measures the growth of the polynomial…
For a finite group $G$ acting faithfully on a finite dimensional $F$-vector space $V$, we show that in the modular case, the top degree of the vector coinvariants grows unboundedly: $\lim_{m\to\infty} \topdeg F[V^{m}]_{G}=\infty$. In…
Let $S^{\cdot}$ be a noetherian graded algebra over a commutative $k$-algebra $A$, where $k$ is a commutative ring, and assume it is a module over a Lie algebroid ${\mathfrak g}_{A/k}$. If $S^\cdot$ is semi-simple over ${\mathfrak g}_{A/k}$…
We consider absolutely free nonassociative algebras and, more generally, absolutely free algebras with (maybe infinitely) many multilinear operations. Such algebras are described in terms of labeled reduced planar rooted trees. This allows…
We consider algebras over a field K defined by a presentation K <x_1,..., x_n : R >, where $R$ consists of n choose 2 square-free relations of the form x_i x_j = x_k x_l with every monomial x_i x_j, i different from j, appearing in one of…
If G is a finitely generated group, and A an algebraic group, then Hom(G,A) is a possibly reducible algebraic variety denoted by R_A(G). Here we define the profile function, P_d(R_A(G)), of the representation variety of G over A to be…
Let the finite group $G$ act linearly on the vector space $V$ over the field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. If $H<G$ is a subgroup the extension of invariant rings $k[V]^G\subset k[V]^H$ is studied using modules of covariants. An example…
