Abstract

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 S be the ring of all complex-valued polynomials on X, regarded as a G-module in the obvious way, and let J ? S be the sub-ring of all G-invariant polynomials on X.
