In algebraic geometry it is of interest to examine polynomial surfaces F which transform into themselves under the collineation T defined by:
where Ep = 1, and p is a prime (2). One of the most obvious ways to ensure invariance of a surface is for each term X1ax2bX3cX4d of F to go into itself. We present initially, therefore, a theorem which will be useful in the study of such termwise invariance for polynomials of composite degree.
