Let $\mathfrak{R}$ be a weakly noetherian variety of unitary associative algebras (over a field $K$ of characteristic 0), i.e., every finitely generated algebra from $\mathfrak{R}$ satisfies the ascending chain condition for two-sided…

The First Fundamental Theorem of Invariant Theory describes a minimal generating set of the invariant polynomial ring under the action of some group $G$. In this note we give an elementary and direct proof for the $\operatorname{GL}_2(K)$…

We consider the ring of coinvariants for modular representations of cyclic groups of prime order. For all cases for which explicit generators for the ring of invariants are known, we give a reduced Gr\"obner basis for the Hilbert ideal and…

We prove various results on the size and structure of subsets of vector spaces over finite fields which, in some sense, have too many mutually orthogonal pairs of vectors. In particular, we obtain sharp finite field variants of a theorem of…

Noether, Fleischmann and Fogarty proved that if the characteristic of the underlying field does not divide the order $|G|$ of a finite group $G$, then the polynomial invariants of $G$ are generated by polynomials of degrees at most $|G|$.…

The algebra of invariants of several 3 x 3 matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation is considered over a field of characteristic different from two. The maximal degree of elements of minimal system of…

Let $A$ be a finite dimensional associative $\mathbb{K}$-algebra over an algebraically closed field $\mathbb{K}$ of characteristic zero. To $A$, we can associate its basic form that is given by a quiver $Q = (Q_0, Q_1)$ with an admissible…

We study the numbers of involutions and their relation to Frobenius-Schur indicators in the groups $\mathrm{SO}^{\pm}(n,q)$ and $\Omega^{\pm}(n,q)$. Our point of view for this study comes from two motivations. The first is the conjecture…

Let $V$ be a $2n$-dimensional vector space over a field $F$ and $\Omega$ be a non-degenerate symplectic form on $V$. Denote by ${\mathfrak H}_{k}(\Omega)$ the set of all $2k$-dimensional subspaces $U\subset V$ such that the restriction…

We consider the 2-generated free metabelian associative and Lie algebras over the complex field and the invariants of the dihedral groups of finite order acting on these algebras. In the associative case we find a finite set of generators…

When we consider a finite abelian group acting linearly on a polynomial ring, we can find monomial generators for the subring of invariants. By Noether's degree bound and Hilbert's finiteness theorem, we know that there are finitely many…

The complete classification of the finite simple groups that are $(2,3)$-generated is a problem which is still open only for orthogonal groups. Here, we construct $(2, 3)$-generators for the finite odd-dimensional orthogonal groups…

We elaborate how to apply the Hilbert series method to enumerating group covariants, which transform under any given representation, including but going beyond group invariants. Mathematically, group covariants form a module over the ring…

We give an elementary proof of the first fundamental theorem of the invariant theory for the orthosymplectic supergroup by generalising the method of Atiyah, Bott and Patodi to the supergroup context. We use methods from super-algebraic…

For a faithful linear representation $V$ of a finite group $G$ in coprime characteristic, we show that if the field Noether number $\beta_{\mathrm{field}}$ is the minimum $d$ such that the invariant polynomials of degree $\leq d$ generate…

We introduce two new invariants of a Noetherian (standard graded) local ring $(R, \mathfrak m)$ that measure the number of generators of certain kinds of reductions of $\mathfrak m,$ and we study their properties. Explicitly, we consider…

Given a linear action of a group $G$ on a $K$-vector space $V$, we consider the invariant ring $K[V \oplus V^*]^G$, where $V^*$ is the dual space. We are particularly interested in the case where $V =\gfq^n$ and $G$ is the group $U_n$ of…

Let $\mathbb{F}_{q}$ be a finite field of characteristic $p$, and let $W_{2}(\mathbb{F}_{q})$ be the ring of Witt vectors of length two over $\mathbb{F}_{q}$. We prove that for any reductive group scheme $\mathbb{G}$ over $\mathbb{Z}$ such…

In a previous work we established a super Schur-Weyl-Brauer duality between the orthosymplectic supergroup of superdimension $(m|2n)$ and the Brauer algebra with parameter $m-2n$. This led to a proof of the first fundamental theorem of…

We present a method for computing the Hilbert series of the algebra of invariants of the complex symplectic and orthogonal groups acting on graded noncommutative algebras with homogeneous components which are polynomial modules of the…
