Invariant theory deals with an algebraic, geometric or analytic structure $X$, submitted to the action of an (algebraic) group $G$. It studies $G$-invariant elements of $X$ as well as the set of $G$-orbits.

On the field of invariants of a finite group
It seems likely (and may be known) that it does depend on the permutation representation. However, it is a subtle question as the stable isomorphism class (of any faithful permutation, or in fact arbi …

Chevalley–Shephard–Todd theorem
There are indeed many presentations (if I remember correctly Bourbaki has it)
but the proof is very elegant and short so that I find it hard to refrain from giving
it. Let $H$ be the normal subgroup o …

Is $Sym^n (V^*) \cong Sym^n (V)^\ast$ naturally in positive characteristic?
The answer is no (and well-known to people working in the representation theory of algebraic groups in positive characteristic). In fact for $V$ finite dimensional and of dimension $>1$ the two vector …
