Separating invariants for modular $P$-groups and groups acting diagonally

We study separating algebras for rings of invariants of finite groups. We describe a separating subalgebra for invariants of $p$-groups in characteristic $p$ using only transfers and norms. Also we give an explicit construction of a finite separating set for invariants of groups acting diagonally.
