Nagata solved Hilbert's 14-th problem in 1958 in the negative. The solution naturally lead him to a tantalizing conjecture that remains widely open after more than half a century of intense efforts. Using Nagata's theorem as starting point,…

We study the iterated blow-up X of projective space along an arbitrary collection of linear subspaces. By replacing the universal torsor with an $\mathbb{A}^1$-homotopy equivalent model, built from $\mathbb{A}^1$-fiber bundles not just…

We show that the blow-up of P^2 in n points on a line has finitely generated Cox ring. We give explicit generators for the ring and calculate its defining ideal of relations.

Hilbert's 14th Problem asks the following question. Given a linear representation $ \beta: G \to \operatorname{GL}(\mathbf{V}) $ of a linear algebraic group over a field $ k $ is the ring $ S_{k}(\mathbf{V}^{\ast}) $ a finitely generated $…

We study Hilbert's fourteenth problem from a geometric point of view. Nagata's celebrated counterexample demonstrates that for an arbitrary group action on a variety the ring of invariant functions need not be isomorphic to the ring of…

Nagata's famous counterexample to Hilbert's fourteenth problem shows that the ring of invariants of an algebraic group action on an affine algebraic variety is not always finitely generated. In some sense, however, invariant rings are not…

We give examples over arbitrary fields of rings of invariants that are not finitely generated. The group involved can be as small as three copies of the additive group, as in Mukai's examples over the complex numbers. The failure of finite…

We interpret a counterexample to Hilbert's 14th problem by S. Kuroda geometrically in two ways: As ring of regular functions on a smooth rational quasiprojective variety over any field K of characteristic 0, and, in the special case where K…

The problem of finding generators of the subalgebra of invariants under the action of a group of automorphisms of a finite dimensional Lie algebra on its universal enveloping algebra is reduced to finding homogeneous generators of the same…

We develop the theory of resolvent degree, introduced by Brauer \cite{Br} in order to study the complexity of formulas for roots of polynomials and to give a precise formulation of Hilbert's 13th Problem. We extend the context of this…

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 define the equivariant Cox ring of a normal variety with algebraic group action. We study algebraic and geometric aspects of this object and show how it is related to the ordinary Cox ring. Then, we specialize to the case of normal…

Let $p$ be a prime number, $\Bbbk$ a field of characteristic $p$ and $G$ a finite $p$-group. Let $V$ be a finite-dimensional linear representation of $G$ over $\Bbbk$. Write $S = \mathrm{Sym} V^*$. For a class of $p$-groups which we call…

Our starting point is Mumford's conjecture, on representations of Chevalley groups over fields, as it is phrased in the preface of "Geometric Invariant Theory". After extending the conjecture appropriately, we show that it holds over an…

In [4], Kuroda generalized Roberts' counterexample \cite{Roberts} to the fourteenth problem of Hilbert. The counterexample is given as the kernel of a locally nilpotent derivation on a polynomial ring. We replace his construction of the…

Hilbert's 14th problem studies the finite generation property of the intersection of an integral algebra of finite type with a subfield of the field of fractions of the algebra. It has a negative answer due to the counterexample of Nagata.…

Let $X$ be the blowup of a weighted projective plane at a general point. We study the problem of finite generation of the Cox ring of $X$. Generalizing examples of Srinivasan and Kurano-Nishida, we consider examples of $X$ that contain a…

The algebraic form of Hilbert's 13th Problem asks for the resolvent degree $\text{rd}(n)$ of the general polynomial $f(x) = x^n + a_1 x^{n-1} + \ldots + a_n$ of degree $n$, where $a_1, \ldots, a_n$ are independent variables. The resolvent…

For every smooth quasi-projective surface X we construct a series of P^{n-1}-functors H_{l,n}: D(X x X^[l]) --> D(X^[n+l]) between the derived categories of the Hilbert schemes of points for n>max{l,1} using the derived McKay…

Roberts, Freudenburg, and Daigle and Freudenburg have given the smallest counterexamples to Hilbert's fourteenth problem as rings of invariants of algebraic groups. Each is of an action of the additive group on a finite dimensional vector…
