Abstract: We give a new proof of some characteristic-free fundamental theorems in invariant theory first proved in C. De Concini and C. Procesi, A characteristic free approach to invariant theory, Adv. Math. 21 (1976), 330--354. We treat the action of the general linear group and the symplectic group. Our approach is geometric, and utilizes the fact that the categorical quotients are principal fiber bundles off codimension two or more.


The characteristic free fundamental theorems of invariant theory for the classical groups were proved by \textit{C. De Concini} and \textit{C. Procesi} [Adv. Math. 21, 330--354 (1976; Zbl 0347.20025)]. In the present paper the author shows a geometric proof for the cases of the general linear and symplectic groups, utilizing the fact that the corresponding categorical quotients are principal fiber bundles off codimension two. The Cohen-Macaulay property of the determinantal varieties involved is used as an input.
