Let K be a field of characteristic zero. Let V be an n-dimensional vector space over K and let S be the graded ring of polynomial functions on V. If G is a group of linear transformations of V, then G acts naturally as a group of automorphisms of S if we define

The elements of S invariant under all γG constitute a homogeneous subring I(S) of S called the ring of polynomial invariants of G.
