Let V denote a finite-dimensional K vector space and let G denote a finite group of K-linear automorphisms of V. Let V m denote the direct sum of m copies of V and let G act on the symmetric algebra K[V m ] of V m by the diagonal action on V m . A result of Noether implies that, if char K=0, then K[

β¦ Synopsis
An algorithm is presented which calculates rings of polynomial invariants of finite linear groups over an arbitrary field K. Up to now, such algorithms have been available only for the case that the characteristic of K does not divide the group order. Some applications to the question whether a modular invariant ring is Cohen-Macaulay or isomorphic to a polynomial ring are discussed.

Let F be a finite field. We apply a result of Thierry Berger (1996, Designs Codes Cryptography, 7, 215-221) to determine the structure of all groups of permutations on F generated by the permutations induced by the linear polynomials and any power map which induces a permutation on F.
We show that every (discrete) group ring DΒ½G of a free-by-amenable group G over a division ring D of arbitrary characteristic is stably finite, in the sense that one-sided inverses in all matrix rings over DΒ½G are two-sided. Our methods use Sylvester rank functions and the translation ring of an ame
Let F q be the finite field with q elements, q ΒΌ p n ; p 2 N a prime, and Mat 2:2 Γ°F q Γ the vector space of 2 Γ 2-matrices over F. The group GLΓ°2; FΓ acts on Mat 2;2 Γ°F q Γ by conjugation. In this note, we determine the invariants of this action. In contrast to the case of an infinite field, where
