A proof of the finite generation of invariants of a normal subgroup

John Brendan Sullivan

Vol. 51 (1974), No. 2, 571–572
Abstract

A fundamental theorem in the development of the quotient theory of an affine algebraic group G shows that the coordinate functions invariant under a normal subgroup form a finitely generated algebra. We show that this theorem follows from the finite field generation of the quotient field of the algebra of invariant coordinate functions in the connected case.
