Abstract:
Let be a faithful representation of a finite group . In this paper we proceed with the study of the image of the associated Noether map
In our 2005 paper it has been shown that the Noether map is surjective if is a projective -module. This paper deals with the converse. The converse is in general not true: we illustrate this with an example. However, for -groups (where is the characteristic of the ground field ) as well as for permutation representations of any group the surjectivity of the Noether map implies the projectivity of .
