Abstract: Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive group, and let $V$ be a linear representation of $G$. Let $V//G=Spec(Sym(V^{\ast }){)}^G$ denote the geometric quotient and let $pi:VoV//G$ denote the quotient map. Arithmetic invariant theory studies the map $pi$ on the level of $k$-rational points. In this article, which is a continuation of the results of our earlier paper "Arithmetic invariant theory", we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a rational element of $V//G$ to lie in the image of $pi$, assuming that generic stabilizers are abelian. We illustrate the various scenarios that can occur with some recent examples of arithmetic interest.
