Invariant Algebra

Let $G$ be a reductive group over an algebraically closed subfield $k$ of $\mathbb{C}$ of characteristic zero, $H\subseteq G$ an observable subgroup normalised by a maximal torus of $G$ and $X$ an affine $k$-variety acted on by $G$. Popov and Pommerening conjectured in the late 1970s that the invariant algebra $k[X]^{H}$ is finitely generated. We prove the conjecture for: (1) subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_{n}(k)$ closed under left (or right) Borel action and for: (2) a class of Borel regular subgroups of classical groups. We give a partial affirmative answer to the conjecture for general regular subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_{n}(k)$.

Decomposition Formula

Let H be the Levi subgroup of a parabolic subgroup of a split reductive group G. In characteristic zero, an irreducible representation V of G decomposes when restricted to H into a sum V = ⊕mαWα where the Wα’s are distinct irreducible representations of H. We will give a formula for the multiplicities mα. When H is the maximal torus, this formula is Weyl’s character formula. In theory one may deduce the general formula from Weyl’s result but I do not know how to do this.

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.

This paper examines Euler characteristics and characteristic classes in the motivic setting. We establish a motivic version of the Becker–Gottlieb transfer, generalizing a construction of Hoyois. Making calculations of the Euler characteristic of the scheme of maximal tori in a reductive group, we prove a generalized splitting principle for the reduction from $\operatorname{GL}_{n}$ or $\operatorname{SL}_{n}$ to the normalizer of a maximal torus (in characteristic zero). Ananyevskiy’s splitting principle reduces questions about characteristic classes of vector bundles in $\operatorname{SL}$-oriented, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D702}$-invertible theories to the case of rank two bundles. We refine the torus-normalizer splitting principle for $\operatorname{SL}_{2}$ to help compute the characteristic classes in Witt cohomology of symmetric powers of a rank two bundle, and then generalize this to develop a general calculus of characteristic classes with values in Witt cohomology.

Separating Invariants

AbstractAbstract Let G be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field 𝕜 acting rationally on a G-module V with its null-cone. Let δ(G, V) and σ(G, V) denote the minimal number d such that for every and , respectively, there exists a homogeneous invariant f of positive degree at most d such that f(v) ≠ 0. Then δ(G) and σ(G) denote the supremum of these numbers taken over all G-modules V. For positive characteristics, we show that δ(G) = ∞ for any subgroup G of GL2(𝕜) that contains an infinite unipotent group, and σ(G) is finite if and only if G is finite. In characteristic zero, δ(G) = 1 for any group G, and we show that if σ(G) is finite, then G0 is unipotent. Our results also lead to a more elementary proof that βsep(G) is finite if and only if G is finite.

Reductive Algebraic Groups

The unipotent groups are an important class of algebraic groups. We show that techniques used to compute with finitely generated nilpotent groups carry over to unipotent groups. We concentrate particularly on maximal unipotent subgroups of split reductive groups and show how this improves computation in the reductive group itself.

It is well known that in a reductive group, the Borel subgroup is a product of the maximal torus and the one-dimensional positive root subgroups. The purpose of this paper is to find an analog of this result for reductive monoids. Via a study of reductive monoids of semisimple rank 1, we introduce the concept of root semigroups. By analyzing the associated root elements in the Renner monoid, we show that the closure of the Borel subgroup is generated by the maximal torus and positive root semigroups. Along the way we generalize the Jordan decomposition of algebraic groups to reductive monoids.

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.

A field K is called ample if every smooth K-curve that has a K-rational point has infinitely many of them. We prove two theorems to support the following conjecture, which is inspired by classical infinite rank results: Every non-zero Abelian variety A over an ample field K which is not algebraic over a finite field has infinite rank. First, the ℤ(p)-module A(K) ⊗ ℤ(p) is not finitely generated, where p is the characteristic of K. In particular, the conjecture holds for fields of characteristic zero. Second, if K is an infinite finitely generated field and S is a finite set of local primes of K, then every Abelian variety over K acquires infinite rank over certain subfields of the maximal totally S-adic Galois extension of K. This strengthens a recent infinite rank result of Geyer and Jarden.
