In a classical paper [C] Chevalley considered the invariants of a finite group H ⊂ GLk (S 1) generated by pseudo-reflections, acting on the graded polynomial ring S = k[X 1,…,X n] over a field k of characteristic zero. He proved that S is free as a graded SH -module, hence SH is a graded polynomial ring (Theorem A), and that the natural representation of H in is equivalent to the regular representation (Theorem B). On the other hand, a theorem of Shephard and Todd shows that when SH is a polynomial ring, the (finite) group H is generated by pseudo-reflections. These results have been extended by Bourbaki [Bo2] to fields whose characteristic may be positive, but does not divide the order |H| of the group.
