Abstract: Let $ G\subset\mathrm{GL}(V)$ be a complex reductive group. Let $ G'$ denote $ \{\varphi\in\mathrm{GL}(V)\mid p\circ\varphi=p$ for all $ p\in\mathbb{C}[V]^G\}$. We show that, ``in general'', $ G'=G$. In case $ G$ is the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra $ \mathfrak{g}$, we show that $ G'$ is an order 2 extension of $ G$. We also calculate $ G'$ for all representations of $ \mathrm{SL}_2$.
