Computing in Unipotent and 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 the maximal unipotent subgroup of a split reductive group and show how this improves computation in the reductive group itself.
متن کاملAlgebraic Groups I. Unipotent radicals and reductivity
In class, we have proved the important fact that over any field k, a non-solvable connected reductive group containing a 1-dimensional split maximal k-torus is k-isomorphic to SL2 or PGL2. That proof relied on knowing that maximal tori remain maximal after a ground field extension to k, and so relies on Grothendieck’s theorem. But for algebraically closed fields there is no content to Grothendi...
متن کاملRegular Elements in Algebraic Groups of Prime Characteristic
A result of Steinberg's on the existence of rational regular unipotent elements in quasi-split simple algebraic groups over fields of arbitrary characteristic is partially extended to the case of non-quasi-split groups.
متن کاملOn Mordell-Lang in Algebraic Groups of Unipotent Rank 1
In the previous ICERM workshop, Tom Scanlon raised the question of whether the (classical, i.e., non-dynamic) Mordell-Lang conjecture remains true in algebraic groups of unipotent rank 1 (with additional hypotheses on the closed subvariety X ). I will discuss some initial work in progress on this question, focusing on the Lang exceptional set of X . Conventions and Basic Definitions For this ta...
متن کاملDescribing unipotent classes in algebraic groups using subgroups
This paper discusses, for all characteristics, the parameterization of unipotent classes of algebraic groups using subgroups. We obtain complete parameterizations for the classical groups and partial results for the exceptional groups. We also restate previously known results using the language of subgroups.
