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]).

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 A be a connected minimal representation-infinite algebra over an algebraically closed field k. In this paper, we investigate the simple connectedness and strong simple connectedness of A. We prove that A is simply connected if and only if its first Hochschild cohomology group H1(A) is trivial. We also give some equivalent conditions of strong simple connectedness of an algebra A.

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).

AbstractLet k be an algebraically closed field, and let l be a prime number not equal to char(k). Let X be a locally fibrant simplicial sheaf on the big étale site for k, and let Y be a k scheme which is cohomologically proper. Then there is a Künneth-type isomorphismwhich is induced by an external cup-product pairing. Reductive algebraic groups G over k are cohomologically proper, by a result of Friedlander and Parshall. The resulting Hopf algebra structure on may be used together with the Lang isomorphism to give a new proof of the theorem of Friedlander-Mislin which avoids characteristic 0 theory. A vanishing criterion is established for the Friedlander-Quillen conjecture.

In this paper we propose a new category Qcl of complex numbers which contains π, e and the set of algebraic numbers. In fact this category contains most of the numbers studied so far in number theory. An element of the category is here called a classical number. The category of the classical numbers forms an algebraically closed field and consists of countably many numbers. The definition depends on algebraic differential equations related with algebraic groups. Throughout the paper unless otherwise stated, we deal with functions of one variable and a differential equation is an ordinary differential equation. We are inspired of the Leçons de Stockholm of Painlevé [P].

AbstractThe conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras of a Lie algebra L over an algebraically closed field under the connected automorphism group G of L is inherited by those G-stable ideals B for which B/Ci is restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of B. Concequently, if L is a restrictable Lie algebra such that L/Ci restrictable for some hypercenter Ci of L, and if the Lie algebra of Aut L contains ad L, then the Cartan subalgebras of L are conjugate under G. (The techniques here apply in particular to Lie algebras of characteristic 0 and classical Lie algebras, showing how the conjugacy of Cartan subgroups of algebraic groups leads quickly in these cases to the conjugacy of Cartan subalgebras.)

Abstract Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field K of characteristic {p>0} . We consider connected reductive subgroups X of G that contain a given distinguished unipotent element u of G. A result of Testerman and Zalesski [D. Testerman and A. Zalesski, Irreducibility in algebraic groups and regular unipotent elements, Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 141 2013, 1, 13–28] shows that if u is a regular unipotent element, then X cannot be contained in a proper parabolic subgroup of G. We generalize their result and show that if u has order p, then except for two known examples which occur in the case {(G,p)=(C_{2},2)} , the subgroup X cannot be contained in a proper parabolic subgroup of G. In the case where u has order {>p} , we also present further examples arising from indecomposable tilting modules with quasi-minuscule highest weight.

The purpose of this paper is to prove that the second cohomology group H 2 A , F of a left alternative algebra A over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic 0 can be interpreted as the set of equivalent classes of one-dimensional central extensions of A .
