Similarity of approximate transformation groups

We propose similarity conditions for isomorphic approximate transformation groups and their Lie algebras. The construction of similarity transformations reduces to solving systems of firstorder semilinear partial differential equations with small parameter. We consider the solvability of overdetermined systems of this type and the structure of their general solutions.     

Invariants of modular groups

For a faithful linear representation of a finite group G over a field of characteristic p, we study the ring of invariants. We especially study the polynomial and Cohen–Macaulay properties of the invariant ring. We first show that certain quotient rings of the invariant ring are polynomial rings by which we prove that the Hilbert ideal conjecture is true for a class of groups. In particular, we prove that the conjecture is true for vector invariant rings of Abelian reflection p-groups. Then we study the relationships between the invariant ring of G and that of a subgroup of G. Finally, we study the invariant rings of affine groups and show that, over a finite field, if an affine group contains all translations then the invariant ring is isomorphic to the invariant ring of a linear group.     

Invariants for group algebras of Abelian groups

LetF be a field of characteristicp>0 and letG be an arbitrary abelian group written multiplicatively withp-basis subgroup denoted byB. The first main result of the present paper is thatB is an isomorphism invariant of theF-group algebraFG. In particular, thep-local algebraically compact groupG can be retrieved fromFG. Moreover, for the lower basis subgroupB ₁ of thep-componentG _p it is shown thatG _p/B_l is determined byFG. Besides, ifH is (p-)high inG, thenG _p/H_p andH ^{p n}[p] for ℕ₀ are structure invariants forFG, andH[p] as a valued vector space is a structural invariant forN ₀ G, whereN _p is the simple field ofp-elements. Next, presume thatG isp-mixed with maximal divisible subgroupD. ThenD andF(G/D) are functional invariants forFG. The final major result is that the relative Ulm-Kaplansky-Mackeyp-invariants ofG with respect to the subgroupC are isomorphic invariants of the pair (FG, FC) ofF-algebras. These facts generalize and extend analogous in this aspect results due to May (1969), Berman-Mollov (1969) and Beers-Richman-Walker (1983). As a finish, some other invariants for commutative group algebras are obtained.     

Invariants of the symmetric and alternating groups

A theorem is proved on the growth of the codimension and the defect of the algebras of the invariants of symmetric and alternating groups with the growth of the dimension of the representations without trivial components, containing irreducible, non-one-dimensional, nonstandard subrepresentations.

Invariants for an adjoint action of classical groups

Let H=Sp(n) or H=O(n); and char K≠2 in the orthogonal case. We prove that an invariant algebra K[M(n)^m]^H is generated by elements σ_i(Y_j1..._j2, where every matrix Y_i either is X_i or the (symplectic) transpose of X_i.

Invariants of finite linear groups on relatively free algebras

It is shown that if G is a finite group of degree preserving automorphisms of R, the ring of n×n generic matrices over a field of characteristic zero generated by d > 1 elements, then the fixed ring R^G can never be generated by d elements unless n = 1 and G is a quasireflection group. As a consequence, for n > 1, R^G is never a generic matrix ring.     

Invariants of infinite groups generated by reflections relative to lines

We distinguish nine rings of invariants of infinite groups generated by oblique reflections relative to lines of Euclidean space, and prove that a ring of invariants of any infinite group generated by such reflections is contained in one of these nine rings.Translated from Ukrainskii Geometricheski Sbornik, No. 33, pp. 65–69, 1990.
