Let k be a field of characteristic p and G a finite subgroup of GL(V) where V is a finite dimensional vector space over k. Then G acts naturally on the symmetric algebra k[V] of V. We denote by k[V]G the subring of k[V] consisting of all invariant polynomials under this action of G. The following theorem is well known.

Theorem 1.1 (Chevalley-Serre, cf. [1, 2, 3]). Assume that p = 0 or (|G|, p) = 1. Then k[V]G is a polynomial ring if and only if G is generated by pseudo-reflections in GL(V).
