AbstractWe investigate the structure of root data by considering their decomposition as a product of a semisimple root datum and a torus. Using this decomposition, we obtain a parametrization of the isomorphism classes of all root data. By working at the level of root data, we introduce the notion of a smooth regular embedding of a connected reductive algebraic group, which is a refinement of the commonly used regular embeddings introduced by Lusztig. In the absence of Steinberg endomorphisms, such embeddings were constructed by Benjamin Martin. In an unpublished manuscript, Asai proved three key reduction techniques that are used for reducing statements about arbitrary connected reductive algebraic groups, equipped with a Frobenius endomorphism, to those whose derived subgroup is simple and simply connected. Using our investigations into root data we give new proofs of Asai's results and generalize them so that they are compatible with Steinberg endomorphisms. As an illustration of these ideas, we answer a question posed to us by Olivier Dudas concerning unipotent supports.

Abstract Pour un groupe algébrique semi-simple simplement connexe sur un corps algébriquement clos de caractéristique positive, nous avons précédemment construit un scindage de l’endomorphisme de Frobenius sur son algèbre des distributions. Nous généralisons la construction au cas de des groupes réductifs connexes et en dégageons les corollaires correspondants. For a simply connected semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic we have already constructed a splitting of the Frobenius endomorphism on its algebra of distributions. We generalize the construction to the case of general connected reductive groups and derive the corresponding corollaries.

International audience Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k, with simply connected derived subgroup. The exotic t-structure on the cotangent bundle of its flag variety T^*(G/B), originally introduced by Bezrukavnikov, has been a key tool for a number of major results in geometric representation theory, including the proof of the graded Finkelberg-Mirkovic conjecture. In this paper, we study (under mild technical assumptions) an analogous t-structure on the cotangent bundle of a partial flag variety T^*(G/P). As an application, we prove a parabolic analogue of the Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Ginzburg equivalence. When the characteristic of k is larger than the Coxeter number, we deduce an analogue of the graded Finkelberg-Mirkovic conjecture for some singular blocks. Soit G un groupe algébrique réductif connexe sur un corps k algébriquement clos. La t-structure exotique sur le fibré cotangent de sa variété de drapeaux T^*(G/B), introduite à l'origine par Bezrukavnikov, a été un outil clé pour de nombreux résultats majeurs en théorie géométrique des représentations, en particulier la démonstration de la conjecture de Finkelberg-Mirkovic graduée. Dans cet article, nous étudions (sous de légères hypothèses techniques) une t-structure analogue sur le fibré cotangent de la variété de drapeaux partiels T^*(G/P). Comme application, nous prouvons un analogue parabolique de l'équivalence de Arkhipov-Bezrukavnikov-Ginzburg. Lorsque la caractéristique de k est supérieure au nombre de Coxeter, nous déduisons un analogue de la conjecture de Finkelberg-Mirkovic graduée pour certains blocs singuliers.

AbstractThe author has determined, for all simple simply connected reductive linear algebraic groups defined over a finite field, all the irreducible representations in their defining characteristic of degree below some bound. These also give the small degree projective representations in defining characteristic for the corresponding finite simple groups. For large rank l, this bound is proportional to l3, and for rank less than or equal to 11 much higher. The small rank cases are based on extensive computer calculations.

In this article we establish the arithmetic purity of strong approximation for certain semisimple simply connected linear algebraic groups and their homogeneous spaces over a number field $k$. For instance, for any such group $G$ and for any open subset $U$ of $G$ with ${\mathrm {codim}}(G\setminus U, G)\geqslant 2$, we prove that (i) if $G$ is $k$-simple and $k$-isotropic, then $U$ satisfies strong approximation off any finite number of places; and (ii) if $G$ is the spin group of a non-degenerate quadratic form which is not compact over archimedean places, then $U$ satisfies strong approximation off all archimedean places. As a consequence, we prove that the same property holds for affine quadratic hypersurfaces. Our approach combines a fibration method with subgroup actions developed for induction on the codimension of $G\setminus U$, and an affine linear sieve which allows us to produce integral points with almost-prime polynomial values.

Let $\mathbf{G}$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraic closure $\overline{\mathbb{F}_{p}}$ of the finite field of prime order $p$ and let $F:\mathbf{G}\rightarrow \mathbf{G}$ be a Frobenius endomorphism with $G=\mathbf{G}^{F}$ the corresponding $\mathbb{F}_{q}$-rational structure. One of the strongest links we have between the representation theory of $G$ and the geometry of the unipotent conjugacy classes of $\mathbf{G}$ is a formula, due to Lusztig (Adv. Math. 94(2) (1992), 139–179), which decomposes Kawanaka’s Generalized Gelfand–Graev Representations (GGGRs) in terms of characteristic functions of intersection cohomology complexes defined on the closure of a unipotent class. Unfortunately, the formula given in Lusztig (Adv. Math. 94(2) (1992), 139–179) is only valid under the assumption that $p$ is large enough. In this article, we show that Lusztig’s formula for GGGRs holds under the much milder assumption that $p$ is an acceptable prime for $\mathbf{G}$ ($p$ very good is sufficient but not necessary). As an application we show that every irreducible character of $G$, respectively, character sheaf of $\mathbf{G}$, has a unique wave front set, respectively, unipotent support, whenever $p$ is good for $\mathbf{G}$.

Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic ρ >0. If G is a connected, simple connected, semisimple linear algebraic group defined over K and σ an endomorphism of G onto G such that the subgroup Gσ of fixed points of σ is finite, Steinberg ([6] [7]) has shown that there is a complex irreducible character χ of Gσ with the following properties. χ vanishes at all elements of Gσ which are not semi- simple, and, if x ∈ G is semisimple, χ(x) = ±n(x) where n(x)is the order of a Sylow p-subgroup of (ZG(x))σ (ZG(x) is the centraliser of x in G). If G is simple he has, in [6], identified the possible groups Gσ they are the Chevalley groups and their twisted analogues over finite fields, that is, the ‘simply connected’ versions of finite simple groups of Lie type. In this paper we show, under certain restrictions on the type of the simple algebraic group G an on the characteristic of K, that χ can be expressed as a linear combination with integral coefficients of characters induced from linear characters of certain naturally defined subgroups of Gσ. This expression for χ gives an explanation for the occurence of n(x) in the formula for χ (x), and also gives an interpretation for the ± 1 occuring in the formula in terms of invariants of the reductive algebraic group ZG(x).

We show that, for a closed orientable [Formula: see text]-manifold, with [Formula: see text] not congruent to 3 modulo 4, the existence of a CR-regular embedding into complex [Formula: see text]-space ensures the existence of a totally real embedding into complex [Formula: see text]-space. This implies that a closed orientable [Formula: see text]-manifold with non-vanishing Kervaire semi-characteristic possesses no CR-regular embedding into complex [Formula: see text]-space. We also pay special attention to the cases of CR-regular embeddings of spheres and of simply-connected 5-manifolds.

Letkbe an algebraically closed field. By an algebra is meant an associative finite dimensionalk-algebra A with an identity. We are interested in studying the representation theory of Λ, that is, in describing the category mod Λ of finitely generated right Λ-modules. Thus we may, without loss of generality, assume that Λ is basic and connected. For our purpose, one strategy consists in using covering techniques to reduce the problem to the case where the algebra is simply connected, then in solving the problem in this latter case. This strategy was proved efficient for representation-finite algebras (that is, algebras having only finitely many isomorphism classes of indecomposable modules) and representation-finite simply connected algebras are by now well-understood: see, for instance [5], [7],[8]. While little is known about covering techniques in the representation-infinite case, it is clearly an interesting problem to describe the representation-infinite simply connected algebras. The objective of this paper is to give a criterion for the simple connectedness of a class of (mostly representationinfinite) algebras.
