These are not the same rings, though. If S={1} then I=R, so C[I]=R and C[S]=C. For your original question, do you mean: Let G subset GL(n,C) be a matrix group, consider the polynomial ring R=C[x1,...,xn] and let I=R^G be the G-invariant subring of R. What is the minimal subgroup H subset G such that R^H=R^G? I don't think that question would be well-posed in general, since there could be several non-conjugate subgroups H1,H2 of G with R^H1=R^H2=R^G, such that for no proper subgroup H3 of H1 or H2 we have R^H3=R^G. Perhaps your setting has some properties that guarantee a unique minimal one? Perhaps those extra properties help in determining it? -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
