Abstract: We obtain a combinatorial formula related to the shear transformation for semi-invariants of binary forms, which implies the classical characterization of semi-invariants in terms of a differential operator. Then, we present a combinatorial proof of an identity of Hilbert, which leads to a relation of Cayley on semi-invariants. This identity plays a crucial role in the original proof of Sylvester's theorem on semi-invariants in connection with the Gaussian coefficients. Moreover, we show that the additivity lemma of Pak and Panova which yields the strict unimodality of the Gaussian coefficients for $n,kgeq8$ can be deduced from the ring property of semi-invariants.
