AbstractFor a split semisimple Chevalley group scheme G with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over an arbitrary base scheme S, we consider the quotient of $\mathfrak{g} by the adjoint action of G. We study in detail the structure of $\mathfrak{g} over S. Given a maximal torus T with Lie algebra $\mathfrak{t}$ and associated Weyl group W, we show that the Chevalley morphism π : $\mathfrak{t}$/W → $\mathfrak{g}/G is an isomorphism except for the group Sp2n over a base with 2-torsion. In this case this morphism is only dominant and we compute it explicitly. We compute the adjoint quotient in some other classical cases, yielding examples where the formation of the quotient $\mathfrak{g} → \mathfrak{g}//G commutes, or does not commute, with base change on S.

Following the notation and the definitions in [1], let L(K) be the Chevalley group of type L over a field K, W the Weyl group of L and h the Coxeter number, i.e., the order of Coxeter elements of W. In a letter to the author, John McKay asked the following question: If h + 1 is a prime, is there an element of order h + 1 in L(C)? In this note we give an affirmative answer to this question by constructing an element of order h + 1 (prime or otherwise) in the subgroup Lz = 〈xτ(1)|r ∈ Φ〉 of L(K), for any K.Our problem has an immediate solution when L = An. In this case h = n + 1 and the (n + l) × (n + l) matrixhas order 2(h + 1) in SLn+1(K). This seemingly trivial solution turns out to be a prototype of general solutions in the following sense.

Definition Of

This chapter shows that certain classes of Harish-Chandra modules have in a natural way a structure over ℤ. The Lie group is replaced by a split reductive group scheme G/ℤ, its Lie algebra is denoted by 𝖌ℤ. On the group scheme G/ℤ there is a Cartan involution 𝚯 that acts by t ↦ t −1 on the split maximal torus. The fixed points of G/ℤ under 𝚯 is a flat group scheme 𝒦/ℤ. A Harish-Chandra module over ℤ is a ℤ-module 𝒱 that comes with an action of the Lie algebra 𝖌ℤ, an action of the group scheme 𝒦, and some compatibility conditions is required between these two actions. Finally, 𝒦-finiteness is also required, which is that 𝒱 is a union of finitely generated ℤ modules 𝒱I that are 𝒦-invariant. The definitions imitate the definition of a Harish-Chandra modules over ℝ or over ℂ.

In [6] we have constructed certain normal subgroups G7 of the elementary subgroup GR of the Chevalley group G(L, R) over R corresponding to a finite dimensional simple Lie algebra L over the complex field, where R is a commutative ring with identity. The method employed was to augment somewhat the generators of the elementary subgroup EI of G corresponding to an ideal I of the underlying Chevalley algebra LR;EI is thus the group generated by all xr(t) in G having the property that ter ⊂ I. In [6, § 5] we noted that in general EI actually had to be enlarged for a normal subgroup of GR to be obtained.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the root-involutions and root-subgroups of the Chevalley group [Formula: see text] for fields [Formula: see text] of characteristic two. The approach we follow is elementary and self-contained depends on the notion of [Formula: see text]-sets which we have introduced in [Aldhafeeri and M. Bani-Ata, On the construction of Lie-algebras of type [Formula: see text] for fields of characteristic two, Beit. Algebra Geom. 58 (2017) 529–534]. The approach is elementary on the account that it consists of little more than naive linear algebra. It is remarkable to mention that Chevalley groups over fields of characteristic two have not much been researched. This work may contribute in this regard. This paper is divided into three main sections: the first section is a combinatorial section, the second section is on relations among [Formula: see text]-sets, the last one is on Lie algebra.

Intrinsic Definition

This paper is dedicated to a problem raised by Jacquet Tits in 1956: the Weyl group of a Chevalley group should find an interpretation as a group over what is nowadays called $\mathbb{F}_{1}$, the field with one element. Based on Part I of The geometry of blueprints, we introduce the class of Tits morphisms between blue schemes. The resulting Tits category$\text{Sch}_{{\mathcal{T}}}$ comes together with a base extension to (semiring) schemes and the so-called Weyl extension to sets. We prove for ${\mathcal{G}}$ in a wide class of Chevalley groups—which includes the special and general linear groups, symplectic and special orthogonal groups, and all types of adjoint groups—that a linear representation of ${\mathcal{G}}$ defines a model $G$ in $\text{Sch}_{{\mathcal{T}}}$ whose Weyl extension is the Weyl group $W$ of ${\mathcal{G}}$. We call such models Tits–Weyl models. The potential of Tits–Weyl models lies in (a) their intrinsic definition that is given by a linear representation; (b) the (yet to be formulated) unified approach towards thick and thin geometries; and (c) the extension of a Chevalley group to a functor on blueprints, which makes it, in particular, possible to consider Chevalley groups over semirings. This opens applications to idempotent analysis and tropical geometry.

AbstractIn this paper we generalize some results, obtained by Shimura, on the special values of L-functions of l-adic representations attached to quadratic CM-base change of Hilbert modular forms twisted by finite order characters. The generalization is to the case of the special values of L-functions of arbitrary base change to CM-number fields of l-adic representations attached to Hilbert modular forms twisted by some finite-dimensional representations.

Let G / H be a homogeneous space of a compact simple classical Lie group G. Assume that the maximal torus T H of H is conjugate to a torus T β whose Lie algebra t β is the kernel of the maximal root β of the root system of the complexified Lie algebra g c . We prove that such homogeneous space is formal. As an application, we give a short direct proof of the formality property of compact homogeneous 3-Sasakian spaces of classical type. This is a complement to the work of Fernández, Muñoz, and Sanchez which contains a full analysis of the formality property of S O ( 3 ) -bundles over the Wolf spaces and the proof of the formality property of homogeneous 3-Sasakian manifolds as a corollary.
