Let G be a finite subgroup of GLn(C) acting naturally on an affine space Cn of dimension n over the complex number field C and denote by Cn/G the quotient variety of Cn under this action of G. The purpose of this paper is to determine G completely such that Cn/G is a complete intersection (abbrev. CI.) i.e. its coordinate ring is a C.I. when n > 10. Our main result is (5.1). Since the subgroup N generated by all pseudo-reflections in G is a normal subgroup of G and Cn/G is obtained as the quotient variety of without loss of generality, we may assume that G is a subgroup of SLn(C) (cf. [6, 16, 24, 25]).

This article began as a study of the structure of infinite permutation groups $G$ in which point stabilisers are finite and all infinite normal subgroups are transitive. That led to two variations. One is the generalisation in which point stabilisers are merely assumed to satisfy min-n, the minimal condition on normal subgroups. The groups $G$ are then of two kinds. Either they have a maximal finite normal subgroup, modulo which they have either one or two minimal nontrivial normal subgroups, or they have a regular normal subgroup $M$ which is a divisible abelian $p$-group of finite rank. In the latter case the point stabilisers are finite and act irreducibly on a $p$-adic vector space associated with $M$. This leads to our second variation, which is a study of the finite linear groups that can arise.

Let A be an associative ring with 1. For any natural number n, let GLnA denote the group of invertible n by n matrices over A, and let EnA be the subgroup generated by all elementary matrices ai, j, where aεA and 1 ≤ i ≡ j ≤ n. For any (two-sided) ideal B of A, let GLnB be the kernel of the canonical homomorphism GLnA→GLn(A/B) and Gn(A, B) the inverse image of the centre of GLn(A/B) (when n > 1, the centre consists of scalar matrices over the centre of the ring A/B). Let EnB denote the subgroup of GLnB generated by its elementary matrices, and let En(A, B) be the normal subgroup of EnA generated by EnB (when n > 2, the group GLn(A, B) is generated by matrices of the form ai, jbi, j(−a)i, j with aA, b in B, i ≡ j, see [7]). In particuler,is the centre of GLnA

The aim of this paper is two-fold: first, to extend the results of (4) to the exceptional finite Lie groups recently discovered by Chevalley (1), and, secondly, to give a construction which works simultaneously for the groups An, Bn, Cn, Dn, En, F4 and G2 (in the usual Lie group notation), and which depends only on intrinsic structural properties of these groups.

The commutator length “” of a group is the least natural number such that every element of the derived subgroup of is a product of commutators. We give an upper bound for when is a -generator nilpotent-by-abelian-by-finite group. Then, we give an upper bound for the commutator length of a soluble-by-finite linear group over that depends only on and the degree of linearity. For such a group , we prove that is less than , where is the minimum number of generators of (upper) triangular subgroup of and is a quadratic polynomial in . Finally we show that if is a soluble-by-finite group of Prüffer rank then , where is a quadratic polynomial in .

1. Introduction. There are five well-known, two-parameter families of simple finite groups: the unimodular projective group, the symplectic group,1 the unitary group,2 and the first and second orthogonal groups, each group acting on a vector space of a finite number of elements (2; 3).
