β¦ Synopsis
Let V be a representation of a finite group G over a field of characteristic p. If p does not divide the group order, then Molien's formula gives the Hilbert series of the invariant ring. In this paper we find a replacement of Molien's formula which works in the case that G is divisible by p but not by p 2 . We also obtain formulas which give generating functions encoding the decompositions of all symmetric powers of V into indecomposables. Our methods can be applied to determine the depth of the invariant ring without computing any invariants. This leads to a proof of a conjecture of the second author on certain invariants of GL 2 p .

We prove that the group algebra of a finite group with a cyclic p-Sylow subgroup over an algebraically closed field is a specialization of a parameter-dependent multiplication structure which gives a semisimple algebra for general values of the parameter. We actually prove the existence of such a sp
Let Z n be a cyclic group of order n and ) implies that S and T are conjugate in Aut(Z n ), the automorphism group of Z n . In this paper, we give a complete classification for DCI-subsets of Z n in the case of n= p a , where p is an odd prime.
