Abstract:
A uniform formulation, applying to all classical groups simultaneously, of the First Fundamental Theory of Classical Invariant Theory is given in terms of the Weyl algebra. The formulation also allows skew-symmetric as well as symmetric variables. Examples illustrate the scope of this formulation.
