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 …

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 …
