For reasons to do with classifying spaces of finite groups, I have the following algebra. Let $k$ be a field of characteristic two, and let $R = k[x,y,z]/(x^2 y + z^2)$, as a graded $k$-algebra with $|...

Let $G$ be a finite group.
By a $G$-lattice I mean a finitely generated free abelian group $L$ with an action of $G$.
One says that $L$ is a permutation lattice if $L$ has a $\mathbb{Z}$-basis ...

Why is the polynomial relating the invariants of a binary polyhedral group fixed by an overgroup?
Let $G$ be a finite subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{C})$ and $N \triangleleft G$ a normal subgroup. Let $x, y, z$ be the fundamental invariants for the standard action of $N$ on $\mathbb{C}^2$, ...
