The ideal of relations for the ring of invariants of n points on the line

Benjamin Howard, John J. Millson, Andrew Snowden, Ravi Vakil (2012)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

The ring of projective invariants of n ordered points on the projective line is one of the most basic and earliest studied examples in Geometric Invariant Theory. It is a remarkable fact and the point of this paper that, unlike its close relative the ring of invariants of n unordered points, this ring can be completely and simply described. In 1894 Kempe found generators for this ring, thereby proving the First Main Theorem for it (in the terminology introduced by Weyl). In this paper we compute...

The moduli space of totally marked degree two rational maps

Anupam Bhatnagar (2015)

Acta Arithmetica

A rational map ϕ: ℙ¹ → ℙ¹ along with an ordered list of fixed and critical points is called a totally marked rational map. The space R a t t m of totally marked degree two rational maps can be parametrized by an affine open subset of (ℙ¹)⁵. We consider the natural action of SL₂ on R a t t m induced from the action of SL₂ on (ℙ¹)⁵ and prove that the quotient space R a t t m / S L exists as a scheme. The quotient is isomorphic to a Del Pezzo surface with the isomorphism being defined over ℤ[1/2].

Troesch complexes and extensions of strict polynomial functors

Antoine Touzé (2012)

Annales scientifiques de l'École Normale Supérieure

We develop a new approach of extension calculus in the category of strict polynomial functors, based on Troesch complexes. We obtain new short elementary proofs of numerous classical Ext -computations as well as new results. In particular, we get a cohomological version of the “fundamental theorems” from classical invariant theory for  G L n for  n big enough (and we give a conjecture for smaller values of  n ). We also study the “twisting spectral sequence” E s , t ( F , G , r ) converging to the extension groups Ext 𝒫 𝕜 * ( F ( r ) , G ( r ) ) between the...
