The automorphism group of certain higher degree forms

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We consider symmetric d-linear forms of dimension n over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 0. The "center" of a form is the analogous of the space of symmetric matrices of a bilinear form. For d>2 the center is a commutative subalgebra of mathbfMn(k). The automorphism group of the form acts naturally on the center. We give a description of this group via this action.


In this work, the authors derived some algebraic properties on the automorphism group of a certain higher degree form, which is a form of degree \(d\geq 3\) over a field \(k\), is a map \(\phi :V\rightarrow k\) such that \(\phi (\alpha v)=\alpha ^{d}\phi (v)\) for all \(\alpha \in k\) and \(v\in V\).
