Let \(F\) be a field of characteristic \(0\), let \(M(n,m)=M(n,m,F)\) denote the set of \(n\times m\) matrices over \(F\) and let \(W=W(n,m,F)\) be the vector space of \(m\)-tuples of \(n\times n\) matrices over \(F\). Let \(V\subset W\) be a vector space on which a group \(G\subset\text{GL}(n,F)\) acts by simultaneous conjugation. We will denote the polynomial functions on \(V\) by \(P(V)\) and the \(G\) invariants by \(P(V)^G\). Main theorem: When \(G=\text{SO}(2k+1,F)\), the invariants \(P[W(2k+1,m,F)]^G\) are the same as the \(O(2k+1,F)\) invariants. When \(G=\text{SO}(2k,F)\), the invariants \(P[W(2k,m,F)]^G\) are generated by traces and polarized Pfaffians of the \(A_i\) and \(A^t_i\), \(i=1,\dots,m\), i.e., \(\text{tr }P(A,A^t)\) and \(\text{pl}(P_1(A,A^t),\dots,P_k(A,A^t))\), where \(P,P_1,\dots,P_k\) are noncommutative polynomials and \(A\in W(2k,m,F)\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0844.00030].
