Abstract:
We compute the action of the Steenrod algebra on rings of invariants of certain subgroups of ${\operatorname {GL} _n}({\mathbf {Z}}/p{\mathbf {Z}})$, namely, the upper triangular and parabolic subgroups. As a consequence we get the action on the Dickson algebra for any prime $p$. The methods we use are elementary.References
