Abstract

Scalings form a class of group actions that have both theoretical and practical importance. A scaling is accurately described by an integer matrix. Tools from linear algebra are exploited to compute a minimal generating set of rational invariants, trivial rewriting and rational sections for such a group action. The primary tools used are Hermite normal forms and their unimodular multipliers. With the same line of ideas, a complete solution to the scaling symmetry reduction of a polynomial system is also presented.
