Consider a finite dimensional vector space $V$ over a finite field $\mathbb{F}_q$. We give a minimal generating set for the ring of invariants $\mathbb{F}_q[V \oplus V^*]^{\text{GL}(V)}$, and show that this ring is a Gorenstein ring but is…
It is shown that a trivial version of polarization is sufficient to produce separating systems of polynomial invariants: if two points in the direct sum of the $G$--modules $W$ and $m$ copies of $V$ can be separated by polynomial…
We introduce four invariants of algebraic varieties over imperfect fields, each of which measures either geometric non-normality or geometric non-reducedness. The first objective of this article is to establish fundamental properties of…
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…
We study the rings of invariants for the indecomposable modular representations of the Klein four group. For each such representation we compute the Noether number and give minimal generating sets for the Hilbert ideal and the field of…
Let $\mathcal{F}_n(X;G)$ denote the set of number fields of degree $n$ with absolute discriminant no larger than $X$ and Galois group $G$. This set is known to be finite for any finite permutation group $G$ and $X \geq 1$. In this paper, we…
The goal of invariant theory is to find all the generators for the algebra of representations of a group that leave the group invariant. Such generators will be called \emph{basic invariants}. In particular, we set out to find the set of…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements, where $q$ is a power of a prime $p$. Recently, a particular action of the group $\mathrm{GL}_2(\mathbb F_q)$ on irreducible polynomials in $\mathbb F_q[x]$ has been introduced and…
Let $p$ be an odd prime and $\mathbb{F}_p$ be the prime field of order $p$. Consider a $2$-dimensional orthogonal group $G$ over $\mathbb{F}_p$ acting on the standard representation $V$ and the dual space $V^*$. We compute the invariant…
A minimal homogeneous generating system of the algebra of semi-invariants of tuples of two-by-two matrices over an infinite field of characteristic two or over the ring of integers is given. In an alternative interpretation this yields a…
We use the gluing construction introduced by Jia Huang to explore the rings of invariants for a range of modular representations. We construct generating sets for the rings of invariants of the maximal parabolic subgroups of a finite…
Let $\mathbb{F}_q$ be a finite field with $q$ elements. M. Gerstenhaber and Irving Reiner has given two different methods to show the number of matrices with a given characteristic polynomial. In this talk, we will give another proof for…
Degree bounds for algebra generators of invariant rings are a topic of longstanding interest in invariant theory. We study the analogous question for field generators for the field of rational invariants of a representation of a finite…
Let $F_q$ be the finite field with $q$ elements and $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$ the ring of polynomials in $n$ variables over $F_q$. In this paper we consider permutation polynomials and local permutation polynomials over $F_q[x_1,\ldots, x_n]$,…
We consider the algebra of invariants of $d$-tuples of $n\times n$ matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic $p$ different from two. It is well-known that this…
It is a recent observation that entanglement classification for qubits is closely related to local $SL(2,\CC)$-invariants including the invariance under qubit permutations, which has been termed $SL^*$ invariance. In order to single out the…
Let $k$ be a field and $G \subseteq Gl_n(k)$ be a finite group with $|G|^{-1} \in k$. Let $G$ act linearly on $A = k[X_1, \ldots, X_n]$ and let $A^G$ be the ring of invariant's. Suppose there does not exist any non-trivial one-dimensional…
We introduce a new graph invariant of finite groups that provides a complete characterization of the splitting types of unramified prime ideals in normal number field extensions entirely in terms of the Galois group. In particular, each…
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 $G$ be the cyclic group of order $n$ and suppose ${\bf F}$ is a field containing a primitive $n^\text{th}$ root of unity. We consider the ring of invariants ${\bf F}[W]^G$ of a three dimensional representation $W$ of $G$ where $G…
