A vector in the space of a representation of a group (cf. Representation of a group) such that for all . An invariant of a linear representation of a Lie algebra is a vector in the space of such that for all . In particular, if is a representation of a linear group in a space of multilinear functions, the given definition of the invariant of a linear representation coincides with the classical definition. The invariants of a linear representation arising from restricting an irreducible representation to a subgroup play an important role in the representation theory of Lie groups and Lie algebras (cf. Representation of a Lie algebra).
