Group Actions on Polynomial and Power Series Rings

Cyclic Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

We consider a cyclic group of order p acting on a module incharacteristic p and show how to reduce the calculation of the symmetric algebra to that of the exterior algebra. Consider a cyclic group of order p acting on a polynomial ring S = k[x1, . . . , xr], where k is a field of characteristic p; this is equivalent to the symmetric algebra S∗(V ) on the module V generated by x1, . . . , xr. We...

The Flag Major Index and Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

A new extension of the major index, defined in terms of Coxeter elements, is introduced. For the classical Weyl groups of type B, it is equidistributed with length. For more general wreath products it appears in an explicit formula for the Hilbert series of the (diagonal action) invariant algebra.

ON ANNIHILATOR PROPERTIES OF INVERSE SKEW POWER SERIES RINGS

Let $alpha$ be an automorphism of a ring $R$. The authors [On skewinverse Laurent-serieswise Armendariz rings, Comm. Algebra 40(1)(2012) 138-156] applied the concept of Armendariz rings to inverseskew Laurent series rings and introduced skew inverseLaurent-serieswise Armendariz rings. In this article, we study on aspecial type of these rings and introduce strongly Armendariz ringsof inverse ske...

Lie Group Representations on Polynomial Rings

0. Introduction. 1. Let G be a group of linear transformations on a finite dimensional real or complex vector space X. Assume X is completely reducible as a G-module. Let 5 be the ring of all complexvalued polynomials on X, regarded as a G-module in the obvious way, and let J C 5 be the subring of all G-invariant polynomials on X. Now let J be the set of all ƒ £ J having zero constant term and ...
