LinearlyReductiveAction -- the class of all (non finite, non toric) linearly reductive group actions

Description

This class is provided by the package InvariantRing.

LinearlyReductiveAction is the class of all linearly reductive group actions on (quotients of) polynomial rings for the purpose of computing invariants. It is created using linearlyReductiveAction. This class should not be used for actions of tori or finite groups, as its methods for computing invariants are in general less efficient than specialized methods for the classes FiniteGroupAction, and DiagonalAction.
