Mar 19, 2012 at 8:22 comment added Geoff Robinson @mark: The ring of nvariants of the non-standard $5$-dimensional reflection representation of $S_6$ is the same as the ring of invariants for the standard one. The matrices whih are acting are the same, it's just that bacuase of teh action of the outer automorphism, in the twisted version they are associated to different group elements. If you like, the outer automorphism of $S_6$ induces an automorphism of the ring of invariants. There may be a question of knowing explicitly what the action of that automorphism is. Other question: try DJ Benson's book.

Mar 18, 2012 at 16:10 comment added mark Thanks Robinson and Wildon for the beautiful answers. Now come to the 1st part of the question. Is there any reference for the generators of the ring of invariants of the reflection representation of $S_6$ ? Any references for the generators and relations for other representations of $S_n$ ?
