Saturations of subalgebras, SAGBI bases, and U-invariants

Sagbi Bases in Rings of Multiplicative Invariants

Let k be a field and G be a finite subgroup of GLn(Z). We show that the ring of multiplicative invariants k[x±1 1 , . . . , x ±1 n ] G has a finite SAGBI basis if and only if G is generated by reflections.

SAGBI Bases Under Composition

Our interest in the subject of this paper is inspired by Hong (1998), where Hoon Hong addresses the problem of the behavior of Gröbner bases under composition of polynomials. More precisely, let Θ be a set of polynomials, as many as the variables in our polynomial ring. The question then is under which conditions on these polynomials it is true that for an arbitrary Gröbner basis G (with respec...

Factor-SAGBI Bases: a Tool for Computations in Subalgebras of Factor Algebras

We introduce canonical bases for subalgebras of quotients of the commutative and non-commutative polynomial ring. A more complete exposition can be found in 4]. Canonical bases for subalgebras of the commutative polynomial ring were introduced by Kapur and Madlener (see 2]), and independently by Robbiano and Sweedler ((5]). Some notes on the non-commutative case can be found in 3]. Using the la...

Finite SAGBI bases for polynomial invariants of conjugates of alternating groups

It is well-known, that the ring C[X1, . . . , Xn]n of polynomial invariants of the alternating group An has no finite SAGBI basis with respect to the lexicographical order for any number of variables n ≥ 3. This note proves the existence of a nonsingular matrix δn ∈ GL(n,C) such that the ring of polynomial invariants C[X1, . . . ,Xn] δn n , where An n denotes the conjugate of An with respect to...
