Invariant polynomials and minimal zero sequences

Bryson W. Finklea, Terri Moore, Vadim Ponomarenko and Zachary J. Turner

Vol. 1 (2008), No. 2, 159–165
Abstract

A connection is developed between polynomials invariant under abelian permutation of their variables and minimal zero sequences in a finite abelian group. This connection is exploited to count the number of minimal invariant polynomials for various abelian groups.

Keywords
invariant polynomials, minimal zero sequences, finite abelian group, block monoid, zero-sum
