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.

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 semi-simple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic 0. For finite dimensional representations of g, the following important results are known; 1) H1(g, V) = 0 for any finite dimensional g space V. This is equivalent to the complete reducibility of all the finite dimensional representations,2) Determination of all irreducible representations in connection with their highest weights.3) Weyl’s formula for the character of irreducible representations [9].4) Kostant’s formula for the multiplicity of weights of irreducible representations [6],5) The law of the decomposition of the tensor product of two irreducible representations [1].

AbstractLet G be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We consider the commuting variety of the nilradical of the Lie algebra of a Borel subgroup B of G. In case B acts on with only a finite number of orbits, we verify that is equidimensional and that the irreducible components are in correspondence with the distinguishedB-orbits in . We observe that in general is not equidimensional, and determine the irreducible components of in the minimal cases where there are infinitely many B-orbits in .

This paper considers the properties of the representation of a Lie algebra when restricted to an ideal, the subduced* representation of the ideal. This point of view leads to new forms for irreducible representations of Lie algebras, once the concept of matrices of invariance is developed. This concept permits us to show that irreducible representations of a Lie algebra, over an algebraically closed field, can be expressed as a Lie-Kronecker product whose factors are associated with the representation subduced on an ideal. Conversely, if one has such factors, it is shown that they can be put together to give an irreducible representation of the Lie algebra. A valuable guide to this work was supplied by a paper of Clifford (1).

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 $\dim \text{Stab}_{G}\langle v\rangle =\dim \text{Stab}_{\mathfrak{g}}\langle v\rangle$.

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.

Let [Formula: see text] be a Lie algebra and [Formula: see text] be a proper ideal of [Formula: see text]. Then [Formula: see text] is called a Camina pair if [Formula: see text] for all [Formula: see text]. Also, [Formula: see text] is called a Camina Lie algebra if [Formula: see text] is a Camina pair. In this paper, we give some properties of Camina Lie algebras. Moreover, we show that a nilpotent Camina Lie algebra of finite dimension over an algebraically closed field is nilpotent with nilindex at most [Formula: see text].

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.

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field and O = k[[t]] ⊂ F = k((t)). For an almost simple algebraic group G we classify central extensions 1 → $\mathbb{G}_m\to E\to G(\bm{F})\$m → E → G(F) → 1; any such extension splits canonically over G(O). Fix a positive integer N and a primitive character ζ : μN(K) →$\mathbb{Q}}_\ell^*}$ (under some assumption on the characteristic of k). Consider the category of G(O)-bi-invariant perverse sheaves on E with $\mathbb{G}_m$m-monodromy ζ. We show that this is a tensor category, which is tensor equivalent to the category of representations of a reductive group ǦE,N. We compute the root datum of ǦE,N.

The notion of affine structures arises in many fields of mathematics, including convex homogeneous cones, vertex algebras, and affine manifolds. On the other hand, it is well known that Frobenius Lie algebras correspond to the research of homogeneous domains. Moreover, there are 16 isomorphism classes of 6-dimensional Frobenius Lie algebras over an algebraically closed field. The research studied the affine structures for the 6-dimensional Borel subalgebra of a simple Lie algebra. The Borel subalgebra was isomorphic to the first class of Csikós and Verhóczki’s classification of the Frobenius Lie algebras of dimension 6 over an algebraically closed field. The main purpose was to prove that the Borel subalgebra of dimension 6 was equipped with incomplete affine structures. To achieve the purpose, the axiomatic method was considered by studying some important notions corresponding to affine structures and their completeness, Borel subalgebras, and Frobenius Lie algebras. A chosen Frobenius functional of the Borel subalgebra helped to determine the affine structure formulas well. The result shows that the Borel subalgebra of dimension 6 has affine structures which are not complete. Furthermore, the research also gives explicit formulas of affine structures. For future research, another isomorphism class of 6-dimensional Frobenius Lie algebra still needs to be investigated whether it has complete affine structures or not.
