A central question in invariant theory is that of determining the relations among invariants. Geometric invariant theory quotients come with a natural ample line bundle, and hence often a natural projective embedding. This question translates to determining the equations of the moduli space under this embedding. This note deals with one of the most classical quotients, the space of ordered poin...

Let M be a right R-module. We call M Rad-H-supplemented iffor each Y M there exists a direct summand D of M such that(Y + D)/D (Rad(M) + D)/D and (Y + D)/Y (Rad(M) + Y )/Y .It is shown that:(1) Let M = M1M2, where M1 is a fully invariant submodule of M.If M is Rad-H-supplemented, thenM1 andM2 are Rad-H-supplemented.(2) Let M = M1 M2 be a duo module and Rad--supplemented. IfM1 is radical M2-...

As for toric varieties, with any projective spherical variety is associated a convex polytope, and any facet of this polytope is defined by a prime divisor stable under a Borel subgroup [4]. In this paper we use the moment map to prove, for certain smooth projective spherical varieties, two characterizations of the facets that are defined by divisors stable under the full group action. As a cor...
