[For the entire collection see Zbl 0679.00007.] Hilbert's fourteenth problem is reformulated in several versions, e.g. (Popov-Pommerening conjecture:) If \(k\) is a field, \(G\) a reductive group acting rationally on a finitely generated \(k\)-algebra \(A\) and \(H\) a subgroup of \(G\) normalized by a maximal torus of \(G\), then \(A^ H\) is a finitely generated \(k\)-algebra; or (Conjecture 2.13:) If \(G\) is a connected and simply connected simple algebraic group over \(k\) with root system \(\Phi\), \(H=\prod_{\alpha\in S}U_ \alpha\), where \(S\) is a quasiclosed subset of \(\Phi^ +\) (relative to some ordering), then \(k[G]^ H\) is a finitely generated \(k\)-subalgebra. The known results on the Popov-Pommerening conjecture are presented and it is shown to be affirmative in the case when \(G\) is a reductive group of type \(B_ 2\).
