Abstract

The classical Invariant Theory studies the rings of functions on a vector space invariant with respect to an action of analgebraic group. One of the standard problems is to find a nice set of generators and relations of this ring. More invariantly, the aim is to define and compute the quotient of an algebraic variety by anaction of analgebraic group (roughly parametrizing the set of orbits). This theory originatesin 19th century and is one the most efficient tools of constructing and studying the new algebraic varieties (forexample, the quiver varieties). Рrerequisites: First two years of our program: Linear algebra, basica lgebra,complex analysis, analysison manifolds.
Learning Objectives

Learning Objectives

  • The goal of this course is to study the invariants of the actions of algebraic groups on algebraic varieties (for example, on vector spaces). We will prove the classical foundational theorems of Hilbert, Weyl and Mumford. We will also prove the more recent theorems of Luna, Vinberg, Deligne and others.
