Dickson-Mui Invariants

Let V be a finite-dimensional vector space over a finite field.The general and special linear groups, GL(V) and SL(V), acton the exterior algebras ^*V and ^*V^* of V and its dual V^*, andon the symmetric algebra S^*V. The subring of SL(V)-invariantsof ^*VS^*V was determined by Dickson and Mui. This paper describesthe equivalent, but simpler, calculation of the invariant subringof ^*VS^*V as a representation of GL(V)/SL(V). 2000 MathematicsSubject Classification 13A50.
