Computational Algebraic Geometry Applied to Invariant Theory

Commutative algebra finds its roots in invariant theory and the connection is drawn from a modern standpoint. The Hilbert Basis Theorem and the Nullstellenstatz were considered lemmas for classical invariant theory. The Groebner basis is a modern tool used and is implemented with the computer algebra system Mathematica. Number 14 of Hilbert\'s 23 problems is discussed along with the notion of invariance under a group action of GLn(C). Computational difficulties are also discussed in reference to Groebner bases and Invariant theory.The straitening law is presented from a Groebner basis point of view and is motivated as being a key piece of machinery in proving First Fundamental Theorem of Invariant Theory. / Master of Science
