According to Hilbert's theory on ramifications in number theory, the p -part of the order of the inertia group of a prime divisor of a normal domain of characteristic p with a finite Galois group is equal to the p -part of its reduced ramification index over its restriction to the fixed subring under the action of the Galois group. This classical correspondence plays a fundamental role in the study of relative invariants of finite groups on an affine factorial variety in arbitrary characteristics. The purpose of this paper is to extend the relationship stated above to one in the case of regular actions of affine algebraic groups and especially in the torus actions. Our generalization is also regarded as a criterion for finite extensions of tori to be central in terms of invariant theory and seems to be useful in extending the studies on relative invariants of finite groups and related materials and on torus invariants.
This paper presents a result concerning the structure of affine semigroup rings that are complete intersections. It generalizes to arbitrary dimensions earlier results for semigroups of dimension less than four. The proof depends on a decomposition theorem for mixed dominating matrices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
