We survey counterexamples to Hilbert's Fourteenth Problem, beginning with those of Nagata in the late 1950s, and including recent coun- terexamples in low dimension constructed with locally nilpotent derivations. Historical framework and pertinent references are provided. We also include 8 important open questions.

On the construction of quotient spaces by algebraic foliations
Given a variety defined over a field of characteristic zero and an algebraically integrable foliation of corank less than or equal to two, we show the existence of a categorical quotient, defined on…
The fourteenth problem of Hilbert for polynomial derivations
We present some facts, observations and remarks concerning the problem of finiteness of the rings of constants for derivations of polynomial rings over a commutative ring k containing the field Q of…
Computing with matrix invariants
This is an improved version of the talk of the author given at the Antalya Algebra Days VII on May 21, 2005. We present an introduction to the theory of the invariants under the action of GL(n,C) by…

THE NOETHER NUMBER IN INVARIANT THEORY
Let F be any field. Let G be any reductive linear algebraic group and consider a finite dimensional rational representation V of G. Then the Falgebra F[V ] of polynomial invariants for G acting on V…
Constructing quotients of algebraic varieties by linear algebraic group actions
In this article we review the question of constructing geometric quotients of actions of linear algebraic groups on irreducible varieties over algebraically closed fields of characteristic zero, in…
ACTA MATHEMATICA VIETNAMICA
Let f : R → R be a polynomial of degree d with only isolated complex critical points. It is shown that the set of bifurcation values of f is contained in a set which has at most (d − 1) points. The…

In this thesis, we study the properties and the classification of embeddings of homogeneous spaces, especially the case of affine normal embeddings of reductive groups. We might guess that as in the…

Affine embeddings of homogeneous spaces
Let G be a reductive algebraic group and let H be a reductive subgroup of G. We describe all pairs (G,H) such that for any affine G-variety X with a dense G-orbit isomorphic to G/H the number of…

Computation of Invariants for Reductive Groups
TLDR
An algorithm for computing generators of the invariant ring for a given representation of a linearly reductive group and a connection between some open conjectures in commutative algebra and finding good degree bounds for generating invariants is shown.

Triangular Derivations of k[X1, X2, X3, X4]
Abstract It is shown that if k is a field of characteristic zero, then the kernel of any triangular k -derivation of k [ X 1 ,  X 2 ,  X 3 ,  X 4 ] is finitely generated as a k -algebra. This is…
