Let V be an n -dimensional vector space over K and let S be the graded ring of polynomial functions on V . If G is a group of linear transformations of V , then G acts naturally as a group of automorphisms of S if we define The elements of S invariant under all γ ∈ G constitute a homogeneous subring I(S) of S called the ring of polynomial invariants of G .

Chevalley (1) (and also Coxeter (2) together with Shephard and Todd (4)) has shown that a reflection group G, acting on a space of n dimensions, possesses a set of n algebraically independent (polynomial) invariants which form a polynomial basis for the set of all invariants of G.

This chapter will be devoted … If W is a finite subgroup of GL(V) generated by reflections, it acts in a natural way on the ring of polynomial functions on V. This chapter will be devoted to the study of this action, emphasizing the remarkable features of the subring of invariants, which turns out to be a polynomial ring on generators of certain well-determined degrees (whose product is |W|). This is a far-reaching generalization of the fundamental theorem on symmetric polynomials (the case of a symmetric group).

Then a finitesubgroup G of GL(V) acts naturally on R[V]. We denote by R[V]G the ring of invariants of R[V] under the action of G. Let R=k be a fieldand suppose that \G\is a unit of k. It is known ([4],[9], [3],[8]) that k[V]G is a polynomial ring if and only if G is generated by pseudoreflectionsin GL{V).

(Kuniyoshi [6], etc.) (iv) $k$ is a field of characteristic $0$ and $G$ is a finite group generated by reflections of a k-module $V$ (Chevalley [2]).However the problem has been kept open even in the case where $G$ is abelian and $k$ is an algebraic number field.K. Masuda proved in [7] and [8] that $\langle Q, G\rangle$ has the property (R) when $G$ is a cyclic group of order $n\leqq 7$ or $n=11$ , and reduced the problem to the one on integral representations, in case $G$ is a cyclic group of order $p$ .Recently R. G. Swan [15] showed, using the Masuda's result, that $\langle Q, G\rangle$ does not have the property(R) when $G$ is a cyclic group of order $P=47,113$, 233, $\cdots$In this paper we will refine the Masuda-Swan's method and will give some further consequences on the problem in case $G$ is abelian.

The … For a finite group, we present three algorithms to compute a generating set of invariants simultaneously to generating sets of basic equivariants,<italic>i.e.,</italic>equivariants for the irreducible representations of the group. The main novelty resides in the exploitation of the orthogonal complement of the ideal generated by invariants. Its symmetry adapted basis delivers the fundamental equivariants. Fundamental equivariants allow to assemble symmetry adapted bases of polynomial spaces of higher degrees, and these are essential ingredients in exploiting and preserving symmetry in computations. They appear within algebraic computation and beyond, in physics, chemistry and engineering. Our first construction applies solely to reflection groups and consists in applying symmetry preserving interpolation, as developed by the same authors, along an orbit in general position. The fundamental invariants can be read off the H-basis of the ideal of the orbit while the fundamental equivariants are obtained from a symmetry adapted basis of an invariant direct complement to this ideal in the polynomial ring. The second algorithm takes as input primary invariants and the output provides not only the secondary invariants but also free bases for the modules of basic equivariants. These are constructed as the components of a symmetry adapted basis of the orthogonal complement, in the polynomial ring, to the ideal generated by primary invariants. The third and main algorithm proceeds degree by degree, determining the fundamental invariants as forming a H-basis of the Hilbert ideal,<italic>i.e.,</italic>the polynomial ideal generated by the invariants of positive degree. The fundamental equivariants are simultaneously computed degree by degree as the components of a symmetry adapted basis of the orthogonal complement of the Hilbert ideal.

In case G … We consider a finite-dimensional kG-module V of a p-group G over a field k of characteristic p. We describe a generating set for the corresponding Hilbert Ideal. In case G is cyclic, this yields that the algebra k[V]G of coinvariants is a free module over its subalgebra generated by kG-module generators of V*⁠. This subalgebra is a quotient of a polynomial ring by pure powers of its variables. The coinvariant ring was known to have this property only when G was cyclic of prime order [M. Sezer, Decomposing modular coinvariants, J. Algebra423 (2015), 87–92]. In addition, we show that if G is the Klein 4-group and V does not contain an indecomposable summand isomorphic to the regular module, then the Hilbert Ideal is a complete intersection, extending a result of the second author and Shank [M. Sezer and R. J. Shank, Rings of invariants for modular representations of the Klein four group, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 368 (2016), 5655–5673].

Using the representation theory of these groups we are able to use the symmetry inherent in these cones to give more efficient descriptions. We focus especially on the An, Bn, and Dn case where we use so-called higher Specht polynomials to give a uniform description of these cones. These descriptions allow us, to deduce that the description of the cones of sums of squares of fixed degree 2d stabilizes with n>2d. Furthermore, in cases of small degree, we are able to analyze these cones more explicitly and compare them to the cones of non-negative forms.

For all cases for which explicit generators for the ring of invariants are known, we … 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 Gröbner basis for the Hilbert ideal and the corresponding monomial basis for the coinvariants. We also describe the decomposition of the coinvariants as a module over the group ring. For one family of representations, we are able to describe the coinvariants despite the fact that an explicit generating set for the invariants is not known. In all cases our results confirm the conjecture of Harm Derksen and Gregor Kemper on degree bounds for generators of the Hilbert ideal. As an incidental result, we identify the coefficients of the monomials appearing in the orbit product of a terminal variable for the three dimensional indecomposable representation.

It turns out that these algebras are actually complete intersections. For other representations we demonstrate that the dimension of the top degree of the coinvariants grows at least linearly with respect to the number of summands of dimension at least four in the representation.

When W is a duality … Classical invariant theory of a complex reflection group W beautifully describes the W-invariant polynomials, the W-invariant differential forms, and the relative invariants of any W-representation. When W is a duality (or well-generated) group, we give an explicit description of the isotypic component within the differential forms of the irreducible reflection representation. This resolves a conjecture of Armstrong, Rhoades, and the first author, and relates to Lie-theoretic conjectures and results of Bazlov, Broer, Joseph, Reeder, and Stembridge, and also Deconcini, Papi, and Procesi. We establish this result by examining the space of W-invariant differential derivations; these are derivations whose coefficients are not just polynomials, but differential forms with polynomial coefficients. For every complex reflection group W, we show that the space of invariant differential derivations is finitely generated as a module over the invariant differential forms by the basic derivations together with their exterior derivatives. When W is a duality group, we show that the space of invariant differential derivations is free as a module over the exterior subalgebra of W-invariant forms generated by all but the top-degree exterior generator. (The basic invariant of highest degree is omitted.) Our arguments for duality groups do not rely on any reflection group classification.

The main result is stated and proved in the first section, and an algorithm is also provided that calculates smoothness conditions.Chapter 4 contains the second part, which consists of a proof that every equivariantsymmetric 2-tensor defined on the section of a polar manifold extends to a symmetric 2-tensor defined on the whole manifold. This is stated in detail in the first section, withproof. The main technical result used, called the Hessian Theorem, concerns the InvariantTheory of reflection groups, and is possibly of independent interest.

Our most general result determines the top component … This paper studies three results that describe the structure of the super-coinvariant algebra of pseudo-reflection groups over a field of characteristic \(0\). Our most general result determines the top component in total degree, which we prove for all Shephard-Todd groups \(G(m, p, n)\) with \(m \neq p\) or \(m=1\). Our strongest result gives tight bi-degree bounds and is proven for all \(G(m, 1, n)\), which includes the Weyl groups of types \(A\) and \(B\)/\(C\). For symmetric groups (i.e. type \(A\)), this provides new evidence for a recent conjecture of Zabrocki related to the Delta Conjecture of Haglund-Remmel-Wilson. Finally, we examine analogues of a classic theorem of Steinberg and the Operator Theorem of Haiman.Our arguments build on the type-independent classification of semi-invariant harmonic differential forms carried out in the first paper in this sequence. In this paper we use concrete constructions including Gröbner and Artin bases for the classical coinvariant algebras of the pseudo-reflection groups \(G(m, p, n)\), which we describe in detail. We also prove that exterior differentiation is exact on the super-coinvariant algebra of a general pseudo-reflection group. Finally, we discuss related conjectures and enumerative consequences.&nbsp;&nbsp;Mathematics Subject Classifications: 05E16 (Primary), 20F55, 05A15 (Secondary)Keywords: Coinvariant algebras, pseudo-reflection groups, Gröbner basis, Artin basis, differential forms, exterior derivatives

This second edition features new material to reflect the continuous evolution of the subject, including entirely new chapters on Hecke algebras, Green functions and Lusztig families. The authors cover the basic theory of representations of finite groups of Lie type, such as linear, unitary, orthogonal and symplectic groups. They emphasise the Curtis–Alvis duality map and Mackey's theorem and the results that can be deduced from it, before moving on to a discussion of Deligne–Lusztig induction and Lusztig's Jordan decomposition theorem for characters. The book contains the background information needed to make it a useful resource for beginning graduate students in algebra as well as seasoned researchers. It includes exercises and explicit examples.

K. White using Bernoulli functions.Let A' be a smooth algebraic variety over C, and let ux be the canonical bundle of X.For each n > 0, if T(X, to®") ^ 0, there is a natural pluricanonical map <p": X -> PT( X, o)®")*.An algebraic variety is of general type if i>n is a birational map for n sufficiently large.For a variety of general type, the pluricanonical images <t>n(X) are the most natural birational models of X to study.Canonical singularities are the singularities which may occur in the pluricanonical models of varieties of general type.In dimension 1, the pluricanonical models are smooth so there are no canonical singularities; in dimension 2 the canonical singularities coincide with the classical rational double points.One characterization of the rational double points is as quotient singularities: if G is any finite subgroup of Sl(2, C), then the quotient C2/G has a rational double point, and every rational double point is analytically isomorphic to such a quotient singularity.Reid and Shepherd-Barron [10], and independently Tai [14], have given a condition for quotient singularities to be canonical in arbitrary dimensions (although not all canonical singularities are quotient singularities in dimensions greater than two).Terminal singularities are a class of canonical singularities which play an important role in birational geometry (as evidenced by recent work of Mori [8], Reid [12], and Tsunoda [15]).In this note we study cyclic quotient singularities which are terminal.In dimension three we explicitly describe all isolated terminal cyclic quotient singularities, while in dimension four, we describe isolated terminal cyclic quotient singularities which are also Gorenstein.The description uses a combinatorial lemma due to G. K. White [17]; we have given a new proof of this lemma (Corollary 1.4 below) using Bernoulli functions.
