Working over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3, we calculate the orbit closures in the Witt algebra W under the action of its automorphism group G. We also outline how the same techniques can be used to determine closures of orbits of all heights except p - 1 (in which case we only obtain a conditional statement) in the dual space W* under the induced action of G. As a corollary we prove that the algebra of invariants k[W*]G is trivial.

This paper examines the relationship between the automorphism group of a hyperelliptic curve defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic two and the 2-rank of the curve. In particular, we exploit the wild ramification to use the Deuring–Shafarevich formula in order to analyze the ramification of hyperelliptic curves that admit extra automorphisms and use this data to impose restrictions on the genera and 2-ranks of such curves. We also show how some of the techniques and results carry over to the case where our base field is of characteristic p > 2.

Let L be the generalized Jacobson-Witt algebra W(m;n) over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p > 3, which consists of special derivations on the divided power algebra R= 𝔄(m;n). Then L is a so-called generalized restricted Lie algebra. In such a setting, we can reformulate the description of simple modules of L with the generalized p-character χ when ht (χ) < min {pni-pni-1| 1 ≤ i ≤ m} for n=(n1,…,nm), which was obtained by Skryabin. This is done by introducing a modified induced module structure and thereby endowing it with a so-called (R,L)-module structure in the generalized χ-reduced module category, which enables us to apply Skryabin's argument to our case. Simple exceptional-weight modules are precisely constructed via a complex of modified induced modules, and their dimensions are also obtained. The results for type W are extended to the ones for types S and H.

Abstract “Even more so is the word ‘crystalline’, a glacial and impersonal concept of his which disdains viewing existence from a single portion of time and space” Eileen Myles, “The Importance of Being Iceland” For a smooth variety $X$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ to a differential 1-form $\alpha $ on the Frobenius twist $X^{\textrm{(1)}}$ one can associate an Azumaya algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }$, defined as a certain central reduction of the algebra ${{\mathcal{D}}}_X$ of “crystalline differential operators” on $X$. For a resolution of singularities $\pi :X\to Y$ of an affine variety $Y$, we study for which $\alpha $ the class $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ in the Brauer group $\textrm{Br}(X^{\textrm{(1)}})$ descends to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$. In the case when $X$ is symplectic, this question is related to Fedosov quantizations in characteristic $p$ and the construction of noncommutative resolutions of $Y$. We prove that the classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend étale locally for all $\alpha $ if ${{\mathcal{O}}}_Y\widetilde{\rightarrow }\pi _\ast{{\mathcal{O}}}_X$ and $R^{1}\pi _*\mathcal O_X = R^2\pi _*\mathcal O_X =0$. We also define a certain class of resolutions, which we call resolutions with conical slices, and prove that for a general reduction of a resolution with conical slices in characteristic $0$ to an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$ classes $[{{\mathcal{D}}}_{X,\alpha }]$ descend to $Y^{\textrm{(1)}}$ globally for all $\alpha $. Finally we give some examples; in particular, we show that Slodowy slices, Nakajima quiver varieties, and hypertoric varieties are resolutions with conical slices.

Abstract We study the automorphisms of a function field of genus g ≥ 2 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0. More precisely, we show that the order of a nilpotent subgroup G of its automorphism group is bounded by 16 (g – 1) when G is not a p-group. We show that if |G| = 16(g – 1), then g – 1 is a power of 2. Furthermore, we provide an infinite family of function fields attaining the bound.

Abstract Let ${\mathbb{k}}$ be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0 and let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over ${\mathbb{k}}$. Under some standard hypothesis on G, we give a direct approach to the finite W-algebra $U(\mathfrak{g},e)$ associated to a nilpotent element $e \in \mathfrak{g} = \textrm{Lie}\ G$. We prove a PBW theorem and deduce a number of consequences, then move on to define and study the p-centre of $U(\mathfrak{g},e)$, which allows us to define reduced finite W-algebras $U_{\eta}(\mathfrak{g},e)$ and we verify that they coincide with those previously appearing in the work of Premet. Finally, we prove a modular version of Skryabin’s equivalence of categories, generalizing recent work of the second author.

Let k be an algebraically closed field of odd characteristic p, and let Dn be the dihedral group of order 2n such that p|2n. Let D(kDn) denote the quantum double of the group algebra kDn. In this paper, we describe the structures of all finite-dimensional indecomposable left D(kDn)-modules, equivalently, of all finite-dimensional indecomposable Yetter-Drinfeld kDn-modules, and classify them.

Abstract In 1895 Wiman introduced the Riemann surface 𝒲 of genus 6 over the complex field ℂ defined by the equation X 6+Y 6+ℨ 6+(X 2+Y 2+ℨ 2)(X 4+Y 4+ℨ 4)−12X 2 Y 2 ℨ 2 = 0, and showed that its full automorphism group is isomorphic to the symmetric group S 5. We show that this holds also over every algebraically closed field 𝕂 of characteristic p ≥ 7. For p = 2, 3 the above polynomial is reducible over 𝕂, and for p = 5 the curve 𝒲 is rational and Aut(𝒲) ≅ PGL(2,𝕂). We also show that Wiman’s 𝔽192 -maximal sextic 𝒲 is not Galois covered by the Hermitian curve H19 over the finite field 𝔽192 .

Let X be one of the finite-dimensional graded simple Lie superalgebras of Cartan type W, S, H, K, HO, KO, SHO or SKO over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 3. In this paper we prove that X can be generated by one element except the ones of type W, HO, KO or SKO in certain exceptional cases in which X can be generated by two elements. As a subsidiary result, we prove that certain classical Lie superalgebras or their relatives can be generated by one or two elements.

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.)
