The Flag Major Index and Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

The Flag Major Index and Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

A new extension of the major index, defined in terms of Coxeter elements, is introduced. For the classical Weyl groups of type B, it is equidistributed with length. For more general wreath products it appears in an explicit formula for the Hilbert series of the (diagonal action) invariant algebra.

Cyclic Group Actions on Polynomial Rings

We consider a cyclic group of order p acting on a module incharacteristic p and show how to reduce the calculation of the symmetric algebra to that of the exterior algebra. Consider a cyclic group of order p acting on a polynomial ring S = k[x1, . . . , xr], where k is a field of characteristic p; this is equivalent to the symmetric algebra S∗(V ) on the module V generated by x1, . . . , xr. We...

Lie Group Representations on Polynomial Rings

0. Introduction. 1. Let G be a group of linear transformations on a finite dimensional real or complex vector space X. Assume X is completely reducible as a G-module. Let 5 be the ring of all complexvalued polynomials on X, regarded as a G-module in the obvious way, and let J C 5 be the subring of all G-invariant polynomials on X. Now let J be the set of all ƒ £ J having zero constant term and ...

On annihilator ideals in skew polynomial rings

This article examines annihilators in the skew polynomial ring $R[x;alpha,delta]$. A ring is strongly right $AB$ if everynon-zero right annihilator is bounded. In this paper, we introduce and investigate a particular class of McCoy rings which satisfy Property ($A$) and the conditions asked by P.P. Nielsen. We assume that $R$ is an ($alpha$,$delta$)-compatible ring, and prove that, if $R$ is ni...
