A Survey of Counterexamples to Hilbert's Fourteenth Problem

We survey counterexamples to Hilbert’s Fourteenth Problem, beginning with those of Nagata in the late 1950s, and including recent counterexamples in low dimension constructed with locally nilpotent derivations. Historical framework and pertinent references are provided. We also include 8 important open questions.

Generalized Derivations and Norm Equality in Normed Ideals

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 47A10, 47A12, 47A30, 47B10, 47B20, 47B37, 47B47, 47D50.

Groups with the Minimal Condition on Non-“Nilpotent-by-Finite” Subgroups

We characterize the groups which do not have non-trivial perfect sections and such that any strictly descending chain of non-“nilpotent-by-finite” subgroups is finite.
