We will prove a general result in Invariant Theory, viz. for a quotient C n ==G , where G is a connected complex semisimple algebraic group, the local first homology group at any point in the quotient C n ==G is trivial and the local second homology group is finite. Using this we will prove that the completion of the local ring of any point in C n ==G is a unique factorization domain (UFD).
