3 General Setting General Setting (joint with A. Maurischat) Some answers in characteristic zero in positive characteristic k = k is an algebraically closed field. B is a finitely generated k-algebra. G is an algebraic group acting on B via k-algebra automorphisms. Finally, B G, the ring of invariants, is the subring of B fixed by the action of G. A central question in invariant theory: Is B G a finitely generated k-algebra? Additive group invariants in pos. char. Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society, June 4-6,
4 Some answers General Setting Some answers in characteristic zero in positive characteristic yes, if G is a finite group. (Hilbert and Noether, 1916, 1926) if G is a reductive group. (Nagata, 1964) Additive group invariants in pos. char. Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society, June 4-6,
5 Some answers General Setting Some answers in characteristic zero in positive characteristic yes, if G is a finite group. (Hilbert and Noether, 1916, 1926) if G is a reductive group. (Nagata, 1964) no, in general: Nagata s counterexample (1959) If G is not reductive, there always exists B with a G-action such that B G is not finitely generated. (Popov, 1979) Additive group invariants in pos. char. Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society, June 4-6,

(Nagata, 1964) no, in general: Nagata s counterexample (1959) If G is not reductive, there always exists B with a G-action such that B G is not finitely generated. (Popov, 1979) Now, we concentrate on G = G a and B = k[x 1,...,x n ]. Additive group invariants in pos. char. Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society, June 4-6,
7 in characteristic zero General Setting Some answers in characteristic zero in positive characteristic In characteristic zero: Maurer-Weitzenböck Theorem (1932): Linear G a -actions have finitely generated invariants. If n 3, then the invariants are finitely generated. (Zariski, 1954) If n 5, the invariants may not be finitely generated: n =7: Roberts s counterexample (1990) n =6: Freudenburg s counterexample (2000) n =5: Daigle and Freudenburg s counterexample (1999) The case n =4remains open for general G a -actions. Additive group invariants in pos. char. Summer meeting of the Canadian Mathematical Society, June 4-6,
8 in positive characteristic General Setting Some answers in characteristic zero in positive characteristic In positive characteristic: If n 3, then the invariants are finitely generated. (Zariski, 1954) The invariants of some linear actions are finitely generated: Basic actions (Seshadri, 1962) Codimension-1 modules (Fauntleroy, 1977) It is not known if linear actions have finitely generated invariants. There are no known examples of G a -actions on polynomial rings with infinitely generated invariants. Additive group invariants in pos. char.

(Zariski, 1954) The invariants of some linear actions are finitely generated: Basic actions (Seshadri, 1962) Codimension-1 modules (Fauntleroy, 1977) It is not known if linear actions have finitely generated invariants. There are no known examples of G a -actions on polynomial rings with infinitely generated invariants. In this talk: we construct positive characteristic analogs to Daigle and Freudenburg s, Freudenburg s, and Roberts s counterexamples, and show that in in every pisitive characteristic the invarinat rings are finitely generated.

10 An additional structure An additional structure Definition From G a -action to Daigle and Freudenburg s counterexample (DF5) In characteristic zero, additive group actions correspond to locally nilpotent derivations (LND). It provides useful extra structure: for example, van den Essen s algorithm. This correspondance fails in positive characteristic. Additive group invariants in pos. char.

17 Daigle and Freudenburg s counterexample (DF5) An additional structure Definition From G a -action to Daigle and Freudenburg s counterexample (DF5) B 5 := k[x, y, s, t, u, v] and in characteristic 0: θ (1) = x 3 s + s t + t u + x2 v. To get something which works in all characteristics, we rescale the variables: t := 2t, u := 6u. The is then given by θ(x) =x, θ(s) =s + x 3 U, θ(t) =t +2sU + x 3 U 2, θ(u) =u +3tU +3sU 2 + x 3 U 3, θ(v) =v + x 2 U. Additive group invariants in pos. char.

18 The proof The other two examples Theorem 2. Contrary to characteristic zero, in every positive characteristic, the ring of invariants B5 θ is finitely generated. Proof. As the θ is triangular, it restricts to a θ on A 5 = k[x, s, t, u]. A θ 5 is finitely generated. (easy, van den Essen s algorithm) Additive group invariants in pos. char.

19 The proof The proof The other two examples Proof of Theorem 2 (continued). There is an invariant of the form v p + vb b. (the hard step!) van den Essen already had a sequence xv n +...for all n when n = p, p divides the coefficients that are not divisible by x. Additive group invariants in pos. char.

(the hard step!) van den Essen already had a sequence xv n +...for all n when n = p, p divides the coefficients that are not divisible by x. The extension A 5 [v p + vb b] B 5 is integral, hence so is the extension A 5 [v p + vb b] θ B5 θ. Thus, as A 5 [v p + vb b] θ = A θ 5 [vp + vb b] is finitely generated, B5 θ is finitely generated.
