Semisimple Algebraic Groups

We extend Borel’s theorem on the dominance of word maps from semisimple algebraic groups to some perfect groups. In another direction, we generalize Borel’s theorem to some words with constants. We also consider the surjectivity problem for particular words and groups, give a brief survey of recent results, present some generalizations and variations and discuss various approaches, with emphasis on new ideas, constructions and connections.

Semisimple Algebraic Groups

Steinberg’s tensor product theorem shows that for semisimple algebraic groups, the study of irreducible representations of higher Frobenius kernels reduces to the study of irreducible representations of the first Frobenius kernel. In the preceding paper in this series, deforming the distribution algebra of a higher Frobenius kernel yielded a family of deformations called higher reduced enveloping algebras. In this paper, we prove that the Steinberg decomposition can be similarly deformed, allowing us to reduce representation theoretic questions about these algebras to questions about reduced enveloping algebras. We use this to derive structural results about modules over these algebras. Separately, we also show that many of the results in the preceding paper hold without an assumption of reductivity.

Semisimple Algebraic Groups

Our purpose here is to study the irreducible representations of semisimple algebraic groups of characteristic p 0, in particular the rational representations, and to determine all of the representations of corresponding finite simple groups. (Each algebraic group is assumed to be defined over a universal field which is algebraically closed and of infinite degree of transcendence over the prime field, and all of its representations are assumed to take place on vector spaces over this field.)

Partial Version

We prove that the standard motives of a semisimple algebraic group$G$with coefficients in a field of order$p$are determined by the upper motives of the group $G$. As a consequence of this result, we obtain a partial version of the motivic rigidity conjecture of special linear groups. The result is then used to construct the higher indexes which characterize the motivic equivalence of semisimple algebraic groups. The criteria of motivic equivalence derived from the expressions of these indexes produce a dictionary between motives, algebraic structures and the birational geometry of twisted flag varieties. This correspondence is then described for special linear groups and orthogonal groups (the criteria associated with other groups being obtained in De Clercq and Garibaldi [Tits$p$-indexes of semisimple algebraic groups, J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2)95(2017) 567–585]). The proofs rely on the Levi-type motivic decompositions of isotropic twisted flag varieties due to Chernousov, Gille and Merkurjev, and on the notion of pondered field extensions.
