Abstract: | Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≥ 0. Let H be a subgroup of GLn(k). We are interested in the determination of the vector invariants of H. When the characteristic of k is 0, it is known
that the invariants of d vectors, d ≥ n, are obtained from those of n vectors by polarization. This result is not true when
char k = p > 0 even in the case where H is a torus. However, we show that the algebra of invariants is always the p-root
closure of the algebra of polarized invariants. We also give conditions for the two algebras to be equal, relating equality
to good filtrations and saturated subgroups. As applications, we discuss the cases where H is finite or a classical group. |
