Given a smooth projective surface X over an algebraically closed field k and a modulus (an effective divisor) m on X, one defines the idle class group Cm(X) of X with modulus m (see 1, chapter III, section 4). The corresponding generalized Albanese variety Gum and the generalized Albanese map um:X|m|Gum have the following universal mapping property (2): if :XG is a rational map into a commutative algebraic group which induces a homomorphism Cm(X)G(k) (1, chapter III, proposition 1), then factors uniquely through um.

AbstractLet G be a simple linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p ≥ 0, and let P be a maximal proper parabolic subgroup of G. If p > 0, then we will assume that dimG/P ≤ p. Let ι : H ↪ G/P be a reduced smooth hypersurface in G/P of degree d. We will assume that the pullback homomorphism is an isomorphism (this assumption is automatically satisfied when dimH ≥ 3). We prove that the tangent bundle of H is stable if the two conditions τ(G/P) ≠ d and hold; here n = dimH, and τ(G/P) ∈ is the index of G/P which is defined by the identity = where L is the ample generator of Pic(G/P) and is the anti–canonical line bundle of G/P. If d = τ(G/P), then the tangent bundle TH is proved to be semistable. If p > 0, and then TH is strongly stable. If p > 0, and d = τ(G/P), then TH is strongly semistable.

Let $G$ be a simple simply connected exceptional algebraic group of type $G_{2}$, $F_{4}$, $E_{6}$ or $E_{7}$ over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic $p>0$ with $\mathfrak{g}=\text{Lie}(G)$. For each nilpotent orbit $G\cdot e$ of $\mathfrak{g}$, we list the Jordan blocks of the action of $e$ on the minimal induced module $V_{\text{min}}$ of $\mathfrak{g}$. We also establish when the centralizers $G_{v}$ of vectors $v\in V_{\text{min}}$ and stabilizers $\text{Stab}_{G}\langle v\rangle$ of $1$-spaces $\langle v\rangle \subset V_{\text{min}}$ are smooth; that is, when $\dim G_{v}=\dim \mathfrak{g}_{v}$ or $\dim \text{Stab}_{G}\langle v\rangle =\dim \text{Stab}_{\mathfrak{g}}\langle v\rangle$.

Let f: V → C be a fibration from a smooth projective surface onto a smooth projective curve over an algebraically closed field k. In the case of characteristic zero, almost all fibres of f are nonsingular. In the case of positive characteristic, it is, however, known that there exist fibrations whose general fibres have singularities. Moreover, it seems that such fibrations often have pathological phenomena of algebraic geometry in positive characteristic (see M. Raynaud [7], W. Lang [4]).

Let V be a variety, which means, an irreducible reduced projective scheme over an algebraically closed field of any characteristic. A line bundle L on V is said to be nef if LC ≧ 0 for any curve C in V. Thus, “nef” is never an abbreviation of “numerically equivalent to an effective divisor”. L is said to be big if k(L) = n = dim V. In case L is nef, it is big if and only if Ln > 0 (cf. [F7; (6.5)]. When L is nef and big, the pair (V, L) will be called a quasi-polarized variety.

LetGbe a simple adjoint algebraic group over an algebraically closed fieldK. We are concerned to describe the conjugacy classes of unipotent elements ofG. Goperates on its Lie algebra g by means of the adjoint action and we may consider classes of nilpotent elements of g under this action. It has been shown by Springer (11) that there is a bijection between the unipotent elements ofGand the nilpotent elements ofgwhich preserves theG-action, provided that the characteristic ofKis either 0 or a ‘good prime’ forG. Thus we may concentrate on the problem of classifying the nilpotent elements of g under the adjointG-action.

AbstractLet G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with Lie algebra g. Then the orbits of nilpotent elements of g under the adjoint action of G have been classified. We describe a simple algorithm for finding a representative of a nilpotent orbit. We use this to compute lists of representatives of these orbits for the Lie algebras of exceptional type. Then we give two applications. The first one concerns settling a conjecture by Elashvili on the index of centralizers of nilpotent orbits, for the case where the Lie algebra is of exceptional type. The second deals with minimal dimensions of centralizers in centralizers.

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Assume that p is good for G. In this note we consider particular classes of connected reductive subgroups H of G and show that the cocharacters of H that are associated to a given nilpotent element e in the Lie algebra of H are precisely the cocharacters of G associated to e that take values in H. In particular, we show that this is the case provided H is a connected reductive subgroup of G of maximal rank; this answers a question posed by J. C. Jantzen.

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $G_{1}$ the Frobenius kernel of $G$, and $T$ a maximal torus of $G$. We show that the parabolically induced $G_{1}T$-Verma modules of singular highest weights are all rigid, determine their Loewy length, and describe their Loewy structure using the periodic Kazhdan–Lusztig $P$- and $Q$-polynomials. We assume that the characteristic of the field is sufficiently large that, in particular, Lusztig’s conjecture for the irreducible $G_{1}T$-characters holds.

The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the simple Lie algebra of type E8 with trivial neutral homogeneous component. The Brauer invariant of the irreducible modules for graded semisimple Lie algebras plays a key role.

Let ℳg be the coarse moduli scheme of curves of genus g. For an algebraically closed field k define is a quasiprojective algebraic variety over k, its dimension being 3g – 3 for g ≥ 2, 1 for g = 1, and 0 for g = 0. It can be considered as the moduli variety for the classes of birationally equivalent curves of genus g over k. For 0 < g, g′ and n ≥ 1 let be the subset of those points of whose corresponding curves possess a rational map of degree n into a curve of genus g′ over k.
