    Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let g be its Lie algebra. First we correct and generalise a well-known result about the Picard group of G. Then we prove that, if the derived group is simply connected and \g satisfies a mild condition, the algebra K[G]^g of regular functions on G that are invariant under the action of g derived from the conjugation action, is a unique factorisation domain
