Let \(k\) be any field and \(S=k[x_1,\dots,x_n]\) the polynomial ring. Let \(G\) be a finite group acting on \(S\) by homogeneous linear substitutions. The main theorem of the paper says that the invariant subring \(S^G\) has Castelnuovo-Mumford regularity at most zero. At first the author proves this theorem when \(k\) is a finite field. Then an argument by Burt Totaro permits to extend the result for all fields. As a consequence the invariant subring \(S^G\) is generated in degrees at most \(n(|G|-1).\)
