Synopsis

• Usage:

  finiteDiagInvariants(U,R)

• Inputs:
  • a matrix, whose rows are the values of the indeterminates under the action of a finite group
  • a ring, the basering
• Outputs:
  • an instance of the type MonomialSubalgebra, the ring of invariants

Description

This function computes the ring of invariants of a finite abelian group G acting diagonally on the surrounding polynomial ring K[X_1,\ldots,X_n]. The group is the direct product of cyclic groups generated by finitely many elements g_1,\ldots,g_w. The element g_i acts on the indeterminate X_j by g_i(X_j)= \lambda_i^{u_{ij}}X_jwhere \lambda_i is a primitive root of unity of order equal to ord(g_i). The ring of invariants is generated by all monomials satisfying the system u_{i1}a_1+...+u_{in} a_n \equiv \ 0 mod ord(g_i), i=1,\ldots,w. The input to the function is the w\times (n+1) matrix U with rows u_{i1} \ldots u_{in} ord(g_i), i=1,\ldots,w. The output is the monomial subalgebra of invariants R^G=\{f\in R : g_i f= f for all i=1,\ldots,w\}.

This method can be used with the options allComputations and grading.
