Abstract:   

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic different from 2. We prove the First and Second Fundamental Theorems for the rings of invariants for certain canonical actions of SL(n), SO(n) (with entries in K) on certain affine spaces. As a consequence we prove the Cohen-Macaulayness of the corresponding rings of invariants. As an application, we obtain a proof of the Cohen-Macaulayness of the moduli space of equivalence classes of semi-stable rank 2, degree 0 vector bundles on a smooth projective curve.



Here are some directions to Northeastern University. Shillman Hall can be best be accessed from the entrance on Forsythe Street between Nightingale Hall (red brick) and Ryder Hall.
