GIT quotient of a reductive Lie algebra by the maximal torus
Let $G$ be a connected complex reductive group with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$. One knows a lot about the GIT quotient $\mathfrak{g}/\!/G$: the invariant ring is a free polynomial algebra on $\mathrm{...

A Weierstrass product theorem for invertible formal Laurent series over local Artinian rings?
Let $(A,\mathfrak{m},\kappa)$ denote a commutative local Artinian ring. Somewhat by accident, I've stumbled across the following interesting decomposition:
$$
A(\!(t)\!)^\times = t^\mathbb{Z} \cdot (1 ...
