For example, the Hilbert series provides a measurement of the size of a graded module by giving its Gelfand᎐Kirillov dimensionwx 10 . If M is a graded module over an infinite dimensional Kac᎐Moody Lie algebra ᒄ with respect to a grading of ᒄ, then the series HqM Ž.is also called the q-dimension or character in the representation theory of Kac᎐Moody Lie algebraswx 9 .

We will omit M from TrMMŽ.␴ , t if no confusion occurs. Clearly TrŽ. id , t Ž. is the Hilbert series HtMd. We say M is left bounded if M s 0 for all d<0. If M is left bounded and locally finite, then TrŽ.␴ , t belongs to the ktww ,ty1 xx of Laurent power series. The trace has been used to study fixed subrings of commutative polyno- mial algebras since the last century. Suppose that A is a graded polyno- u mial algebra kVwx, where V is a positively graded vector space [is1 Vi and that ␴ is a graded algebra of A. Let Ci denote the induced matrix of ␴ on Viilet n be the dimension of Vi. Using a special ordered monomial basis of A Žsee the proof ofwx 4, 2.5.1. , it is not hard to prove that 1 TrŽ.␴ , t s .Ž. 1-1 Łuidet I Ct is1Ž.niiy

Molien’s theoremwx 4, 2.5.2 follows easily fromŽ. 1-1 . Benson’s bookwx 4 gives a good account of invariant theory for commutative rings. Recently in ring theory there have been increased activities to study noncommutative graded rings coming from quantum groupswx 11, 13 and noncommutative projective geometrywx 2, 17 . One important class is that of THE TRACE OF GRADED AUTOMORPHISMS 355 graded regular algebras defined by Artin and Schelterwx 1 that are viewed as noncommutative analogues of commutative algebras. A connected algebra A is called Gorenstein if it has left and right injective iŽ. iŽ. dimension n and if Ext k, AAAs Ext k, A s 0 for all i / n and nŽ. nŽ. Ext k, AAA( Ext k, A ( k. If, moreover, A has finite global dimen- sion, then A is called regular. The definition of regularity here is the definition given by Artin and Schelter without the condition that A has polynomial growth. There are two subtle points in studying fixed subrings in the noncommutative case. First a finitely presented regular algebra need not be noetherianwx 22, 3.4 . Second the automorphism group of a noncom- mutative regular algebra is not easy to determine, even for the Sklyanin algebrawx 18 . Examining the trace of the graded automorphisms provides a way to study the automorphism group and fixed subrings. The purpose of the paper is to extend some standard results in commu- tative invariant theory to noncommutative algebras. In particular, we partially generalize Molien’s theorem and a thoerem of Watanabewx 4, 5.3.2 to the noncommutative caseŽ. Sections 5 and 6 . In order to do so we prove that Tr Ž.␴ , t has nice properties. For example, Tr Ž.␴ , t is rational if A is either finitely generated commutative or right noetherian with finite global dimension or regularŽ. Section 2 . As a consequence, Tr Ž.␴ , t is deter- Ž < . mined by finitely many terms Tr ␴ A d .

Similar to Euler characteristic Tr is additive with respect to exact sequences.

i i EMMA L 2.1. Let M s [d g ޚ Md be graded ¨ector spaces for i G 0 with i the minimal degree of M going to the positi¨e infinity when i goes to infinity. Suppose that the complex

First we assume that the complexŽ. 2-1 has finite length, i.e., i there is an n such that M s 0 for all i ) n. Using the commutativity between ␾i s and boundary maps ofŽ. 2-1 we can break Ž. 2-1 into two exact 356 JING AND ZHANG

By induction we only need to consider the case when n s 2. By the definition of Tr it suffices to 2 i prove Ý Ž.1trŽ.␾¬i 0 for the exact sequence is0 y iMd s

for every degree d g ޚ. This follows immediately from linear algebra. In general we consider the subcomplex of degree less than m. Since the minimal degree of M i goes to the positive infinity, such a subcomplex has finite length and hence the formula holds. The general case follows by letting m go to the positive infinity.

1 2 The over k is denoted by m. Let M and M be two 1 2 graded vector spaces. The graded tensor product M m M is left bounded i and locally finite as long as M are. Let ␴i be a graded endomorphism of i M for i s 1 and 2, respectively. Then

It is easy to see that F␴ is indeed a functor from the category Gr-A to itself. If furthermore ␴ ␴ is an automorphism, then F␴ is an invertible functor and A is isomorphic to A as a graded right A-module. Let M and N be graded A-modules. A graded k-linear map ␾ from M to N is called ␴-linear if

for all m g M, a g A. For example, ␴ itself is a ␴-linear endomorphism of A. A graded map ␾: M ª N is ␴-linear if and only if it is a graded A-homomorphism from M to N ␴. THE TRACE OF GRADED AUTOMORPHISMS 357

ޚ For a graded A-module M s [d g ޚ Md and an s g we define Ž. Ž. Ž. the shift module M s s [d g ޚ Msddsby Ms sMqd. By a noncommu- tative graded version of Nakayama’s lemma, every left bounded and locally finite graded projective right A-module P is free, namely, it has a form of Ž. [iiAys. Thus P s V m A, where V is a left bounded and locally finite graded vector space [iikx with deg xis s i. It is clear that V ( P mAAk , where mA is the tensor product over A. Given a graded endomorphism ␾00: V ª V, ␾ m ␴ is a ␴-linear endomorphism of V m A for a graded endomorphism ␴ of A. Given a ␴-linear endomorphism ␾: V m A ª V m A, we can define ␾Ј to be ␾ mAkid . Then ␾Ј is a graded endomorphism of V. In general ␾ is not equal to ␾Ј m ␴ . The next lemma shows that we still have a formula similar toŽ. 2-4 .

LEMMA 2.2. Let A be a connected algebra with a graded endomorphism ␴ and let P s V m A be a left bounded and locally finite free A-module. If ␾ is a ␴-linear graded endomorphism of P, then

TrPVAŽ.␾, t s Tr Ž␾Ј, t .Ž.Tr ␴ , t ,

where ␾Ј s ␾ mAkid . Proof. First we assume that dim V is finite and use induction on dim V. If dim V s 1, then P s AŽ.ys and every ␴-linear endomorphism of P is of the form

␾ Ž.a s ␾ Ž.1 ␴ Ž.a ,

where ␾Ž.1 g k. Hence

s TrŽ.␾, t s ␾ Ž.Ž.1 t Tr ␴ , t s Tr Ž␾Ј, t .Ž.Tr ␴ , t . If dim V ) 1, let s be the lowest degree in V. Since A is connected, Psss V and ␾ has to preserve the summand Vsm A. Extending the field does not change the trace, so we may assume that k is algebraically closed. Ž.Ž. Let x g Vs be an eigenvector of ␾ and hence, of ␾Ј and ␾ x s ␭ x for some ␭ g k. Then the map ␾ restricted to kx m A is a ␴-linear endomor- phism of kx m A and the map induced on Ž.Vrkx m A, still denoted by ␾, is a ␴-linear endomorphism of Ž.Vrkx m A. Therefore we have a short exact sequence

0 ª kx m A ª V m A ª Ž.Vrkx m A ª 0 Ä 4 such that ␾ <

Similarly, we have

␾Ј ␾Ј ␾Ј TrVkŽ., t s Tr xV Ž., t q Tr rkx Ž., t .

Hence the statement follows by induction.

Next we consider the general case. Let VF nis [ FniV . Then VFnm A is a␾-stable submodule of V m A. Since V is left bounded and locally finite, VFn is finite dimensional and hence the formula holds for VFnm A.Itis Ž.Ž . easy to see that V m A F n s VF n m A F n.

Since A is connected, M has a minimal free resolutionŽ. MFR . We say that M has a finitely generated MFR if every free module in the MFR of M is finitely generated. We say that M has a finite MFR if M has a finitely generated MFR of finite length.

In the noncommutative case it was proved inwx 22, 2.4 and 3.1 that if A is connected and either regular or Ž y1 . l Ž. right noetherian with finite global dimension, then HtAAs"tH t for some l. In this section we will show that such a reciprocity formula also holds for the trace on regular and Frobenius algebras.

Since P is a projective cover, which is also free, ␦0 maps a 0 generating set of P to a generating set of M. Hence ␾0 mA k is an isomorphism.

A great deal has been done for fixed subrings. For the commutative case, seewx 4 , and for the noncommutative case, w 12 x . In this section we will discuss some basic properties of fixed subrings for noncommutative graded algebras. In the rest of this section we assume that G is a finite subgroup of AutŽ.A 1 and that<< G yg k. As noticed more than 100 years ago, there is a projection of A associated to G:

By Lemma 5.2, TrAGŽ.h, t is a rational function. Using Lemma 5.2, we can derive a formula for the Hilbert series of Veronese subrings.

EXAMPLE 5.4. Veronese subrings of a connected algebra. Let A be a connected algebra and n be a positive integer. The nth Veronese subring Žn. A is [iinA . There are two obvious gradings: one is deg x s i and the Ä4 Žn. other is deg x s in for all x g Ain y 0 . Here we consider A as a graded subring of A and use the second grading. The Veronese subrings = can be viewed as fixed subrings as follows. Let r g k [ k y Ä40 and n Ä4 define grn: x ¬ rxfor all x g A y 0 . Then gris a graded automor- = phism of A. In fact, r ¬ gr is a group homomorphism from k to Autgr Ž.A with image lying in the center of AutgrŽ.A .If kcontains an nth primitive root ␨n of 1, then the fixed subring of A under the group action G Ä g i ¬ i 0,...,n 14 is the Veronese subring AŽn..

Without the condition g < id , AG may not be Frobenius. The first A n s A n such counterexample was given inwx 14 . Here is an easy way to produce more counterexamples. By Example 5.4, the mth Veronese subring AŽ m. is

a fixed subring if ␨m g k. Let A be a finite dimensional Frobenius algebra with the highest degree n. Let m be an integer such that n s qm q i with Žm. 0-i-m, and dim Aqm ) 1.

By Lemma 6.4, every ŽI i.Žm.Ž.for i - n is an injective AŽm.-module and obviously it contains no finite dimensional submodules. In particular,Ž. 6-4 i Ž Ž m.. is a part of an injective resolution and hence ExtAŽ m. k, A s 0 for all i - n. Žm. Žm. Žm. 1. If ml< , then A*Ž.l s ŽA .Ž* lrm ., which is an injective A - module. HenceŽ. 6-4 is an injective resolution of AŽm.and the injective Žm. dimension of A is no more than n. Applying Hom AAŽm.ŽŽ.Ž.k m., ᎐ to 6-4 , i Žm. n Žm. Ž.Ž .

If G is a finite subgroup of k=, then G is cyclic and generated Ž !.G Ž !.Ž m. by an mth primitive root ␨m of 1 and hence A m A s A m A .By ! n ! !!Ž .Ž. Corollary 6.3, A m A is Gorenstein and Ext AmAAk mA, A m A s k 0. Of course m <0 for all m, whence the statement follows from Proposition 6.5.1.
