Let G be a finite quasi-simple group of Lie type of defining characteristic r > 2. Let H = 〈h, G〉 be a group with normal subgroup G, where h is a non-central r-element of H. Let ϕ be an irreducible representation of H non-trivial on G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic ℓ ≠ r. We show that ϕ(h) has at least two distinct eigenvalues of multiplicity greater than 1, unless G is a central quotient of one of the following groups: SL(2, r), SL(2, 9) or Sp(4, 3), and H = G⋅Z(H).

Let $G$ be a simple exceptional algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p>0$ and let $X=\text{PSL}_{2}(p)$ be a subgroup of $G$ containing a regular unipotent element $x$ of $G$. By a theorem of Testerman, $x$ is contained in a connected subgroup of $G$ of type $A_{1}$. In this paper we prove that with two exceptions, $X$ itself is contained in such a subgroup (the exceptions arise when $(G,p)=(E_{6},13)$ or $(E_{7},19)$). This extends earlier work of Seitz and Testerman, who established the containment under some additional conditions on $p$ and the embedding of $X$ in $G$. We discuss applications of our main result to the study of the subgroup structure of finite groups of Lie type.

Abstract We generalize the theory of the second invariant cohomology group $H^{2}_{\textrm{inv}}(G)$ for finite groups G, developed in [3, 4, 14], to the case of affine algebraic groups G, using the methods of [9, 10, 12]. In particular, we show that for connected affine algebraic groups G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0, the map Θ from [14] is bijective (unlike for some finite groups, as shown in [14]). This allows us to compute $H^{2}_{\textrm{inv}}(G)$ in this case, and in particular show that this group is commutative (while for finite groups it can be noncommutative, as shown in [14]).

AbstractLet F be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We fashion an infinite dimensional basic algebra ←p(F), with a transparent combinatorial structure, which controls the rational representation theory of GL2(F).

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. We consider which finite groups G have the property that every faithful action of G on a connected smooth projective curve over k lifts to characteristic zero. Oort conjectured that cyclic groups have this property. We show that if a cyclic-by-p group G has this property, then G must be either cyclic or dihedral, with the exception of A4 in characteristic two. This proves one direction of a strong form of the Oort conjecture.

Kaplansky’s famous conjectures about generalizing results from groups to Hopf al-gebras inspired many mathematicians to try to find solusions for them. Recently, Cohen and Westreich in [8] and [10] have generalized the concepts of nilpotency and solvability of groups to Hopf algebras under certain conditions and proved interesting results. In this article, we follow their work and give a detailed example by considering a finite group G and an algebraically closed field K. In more details, we construct the group Hopf algebra H = KG and examine its properties to see what of the properties of the original finite group can be carried out in the case of H.

AbstractLet be an infinitesimal group scheme, defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. We employ rank varieties of -modules to study the stable Auslander-Reiten quiver of the distribution algebra of . As in case of finite groups, the tree classes of the AR-components are finite or infinite Dynkin diagrams, or Euclidean diagrams. We classify the components of finite and Euclidean type in case is supersolvable or a Frobenius kernel of a smooth, reductive group.

One of the fundamental results of representation theory is the identification of the irreducible representations of a semisimple group by their dominant weights [3]. The purpose of this paper is to establish similar results for a class of reductive algebraic monoids.Let k be an algebraically closed field. An algebraic monoid is an affine algebraic variety M defined over k, together with an associative morphism m:M × M → M and a two-sided unit 1 ∈ M for m.
