Some algorithms in invariant theory of finite groups

From MaRDI portal





The paper is concerned with various algorithms for invariant theory of finite groups. The main aim is the computation of the invariant ring of a given finite matrix group over a base field of arbitrary characteristic. Of particular interest is the modular case, i.e., the case where the characteristic of the base field \(K\) divides the group order. The authors have choosen the following approach: First they construct a system of primary invariants, i.e., homogeneous invariants \(f_1,\ldots,f_n\) which are algebraically independent and the invariant ring is a finitely generated module over \(A=K[f_1,\ldots,f_n]\). Then the authors calculate the generators of the invariant ring as an \(A\)-module (named secondary invariants). The algorithms for finding the secondary invariants are completely different for the modular and the non-modular cases. At the end the authors give easy algorithms to compute several properties of the invariant ring, such as the Cohen-Macaulay property, depth, free resolutions, the Hilbert series, and the complete intersection property. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0920.00022].
