Hilbert-Weyl theorem


Theorem: Let Γ be a compact Lie group acting on V. Then there exists a finite Hilbert basis for the ring 𝒫(Γ) (the set of invariant polynomials). [GSS]

proof:

In [GSS] on page 54.

Theorem:(as stated by Hermann Weyl)

The (absolute) invariants corresponding to a given set of representations of a finite or a compact Lie group have a finite integrity basis. [HW]

proof:

In [HW] on page 274.
