Extract

In considering the geometric invariant theory of linear systems (pencils, nets, …) of geometrical objects (quadrics, cubic curves, binary forms,…) there are several ways to apply the basic theory. The object of this note is to point out the equivalence of different approaches and to apply this remark to a number of special cases.
