On invariants of a set of matrices.
First, by using the formulae of Krupka, the trace decomposition for some particular classes of tensors of types (1, 2) and (1, 3) is obtained. Second, it is proved that the traceless part of a tensor is an almost projective invariant of weight 1. We apply this result to Weyl curvature tensors.
In this paper nondegenerate multidimensional matrices of boundary format in V0 ⊗ ... ⊗ Vp are investigated by their link with Steiner vector bundles on product of projective spaces. For any nondegenerate matrix A the stabilizer for the SL(V0) x ... x SL(Vp)-action, Stab(A), is completely described. In particular we prove that there exists an explicit action of SL(2) on V0 ⊗ ... ⊗ Vp such that Stab(A)0 ⊆ SL(2) and the equality holds if and only if A belongs to a unique SL(V0) x ... x SL(Vp)-orbit...
