Over a field of characteristic 0, the algebra of invariants of several $n\times n$ matrices under simultaneous conjugation by $GL_n$ is generated by traces of products of generic matrices. In this paper we have found, in terms of…

For a field $\mathbb{F}$, let $R(n, m)$ be the ring of invariant polynomials for the action of $\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{F}) \times \mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{F})$ on tuples of matrices -- $(A, C)\in\mathrm{SL}(n, \mathbb{F}) \times…

The quantum modular invariant of a real number is defined as a discontinuous, PGL(2,Z)-invariant multi-valued map using the distance-to-the-nearest-integer function. On the rationals, the quantum modular invariant is shown to be infinity…

The fundamental representations of the special linear group ${\rm SL}_n$ over the complex numbers are the exterior powers of $\mathbb{C}^n$. We consider the invariant rings of sums of arbitrary many copies of these ${\rm SL}_n$-modules. The…

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

The ring of invariant polynomials ${\mathbb C}[V]^G$ over a given finite dimensional representation space $V$ of a complex reductive group $G$ is known, by a famous theorem of Hilbert, to be finitely generated. The general proof being…

We give necessary and sufficient conditions for a polynomial of the form x^r*(1+x^v+x^(2v)+...+x^(kv))^t to permute the elements of the finite field GF(q). Our results yield especially simple criteria in case (q-1)/gcd(q-1,v) is a small…

This article investigates the traces of certain modules over rings of invariants associated with finite groups. More precisely, we provide a formula for computing the traces of arbitrary semi-invariants, thereby contributing to the…

Over a field of characteristic 0, every ring of invariants of a finite group is Cohen-Macaulay. This is not true for fields of positive characteristic. We consider permutation representations and their invariant rings over fields…

We use recent results on matrix semi-invariants to give degree bounds on generators for the ring of semi-invariants for quivers with no oriented cycles.

We study invariant and bi-invariant metrics on groups focusing on finite groups $G$. We show that non-equivalent (bi) invariant metrics on $G$ are in 1-1 correspondence with unitary symmetric (conjugate) partitions on $G$. To every metric…

We give a polynomial gluing construction of two groups $G_X\subseteq GL(\ell,\mathbb F)$ and $G_Y\subseteq GL(m,\mathbb F)$ which results in a group $G\subseteq GL(\ell+m,\mathbb F)$ whose ring of invariants is isomorphic to the tensor…

Let $G$ be a finite group acting on a finite dimensional complex vector space $V$ via linear transformations. Let $\mathbb{C}[V]^G$ be the algebra of polynomials that are invariant under the induced $G$-action on the polynomial ring…

We develop a representation theoretic technique for detecting closed orbits that is applicable in all characteristics. Our technique is based on Kempf's theory of optimal subgroups and we make some improvements and simplify the theory from…

For the two-parameter matrix quantum group GLp,q(2) all bicovariant differential calculi (with a four-dimensional space of 1-forms) are known. They form a one-parameter family. Here, we give an improved presentation of previous results by…

By the Fourier transformations, any group-invariant functions over finite Abelian groups are transformed into group-invariant functions over the character groups. In this paper, we calculate matrix elements of this transformations under…

We show that the proportion of polynomials of degree $n$ over the finite field with $q$ elements, which have a divisor of every degree below $n$, is given by $c_q n^{-1} + O(n^{-2})$. More generally, we give an asymptotic formula for the…

For a finite group $G$, we investigate the behaviour of four invariants, $\text{MaxDim}(G),$ $\text{MinDim}(G),$ $\text{MaxInt}(G)$ and $\text{MinInt}(G),$ measuring in some way the width and the height of the lattice $\mathcal M(G)$…

It is shown that two vectors with coordinates in the finite $q$-element field of characteristic $p$ belong to the same orbit under the natural action of the symmetric group if each of the elementary symmetric polynomials of degree…
