Abstract

The most fundamental question we can ask about the invariant theory of a pseudo-reflection group is how to calculate its degrees and exponents. In this chapter, we explain how to characterize exponents in terms of data about the eigenvalues of elements from the group. The relation given in its full generality is due to PianzolaWeiss [1]. Their result is an extension of the fundamental work of Shephard-Todd [1] and Solomon [1].
