Abstract

AbstractLet be a representation of the finite group G over the field . If the order |G| of G is relatively prime to the characteristic of or n = 1 or 2, then it is known that the ring of invariants is Cohen-Macaulay. There are examples to show that need not be Cohen-Macaulay when |G| is divisible by the characteristic of . In all such examples is at least 4. In this note we fill the gap between these results and show that rings of invariants in three variables are always Cohen-Macaulay.
