Abstract: Let $Bbbk$ be a field of characteristic $p>0$, $V$ a finite-dimensional $Bbbk$-vector-space, and $G$ a finite $p$-group acting $Bbbk$-linearly on $V$. Let $S=Sym{V}^{*}$. We show that $S^G$ is a polynomial ring if and only if the dimension of its singular locus is less than $an{k}_{B}bbk{V}^G$. Confirming a conjecture of Shank-Wehlau-Broer, we show that if $S^G$ is a direct summand of $S$, then $S^G$ is a polynomial ring, in the following cases: �egin{enumerate} item $$ and $an{k}_{B}bbk{V}^G=4$; or item $|G|=p^3$. end{enumerate} In order to prove the above result, we also show that if $an{k}_{B}bbk{V}^{G}geqan{k}_{B}bbkV-2$, then the Hilbert ideal $hilbertIdea{l}_{G,S}$ is a complete intersection.
