Abstract: We consider the algebra of invariants of d-tuples of nimesn matrices under the action of the orthogonal group by simultaneous conjugation over an infinite field of characteristic p different from two. It is well-known that this algebra is generated by the coefficients of the characteristic polynomial of all products of generic and transpose generic nimesn matrices. We establish that in case 0<pleqn the maximal degree of indecomposable invariants tends to infinity as d tends to infinity. In other words, there does not exist a constant C(n) such that it only depends on n and the considered algebra of invariants is generated by elements of degree less than C(n) for any d. This result is well-known in case of the action of the general linear group. On the other hand, for the rest of p the given phenomenon does not hold. We investigate the same problem for the cases of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices.
