Weakly Closed Unipotent Subgroups in Chevalley Groups
نویسنده
چکیده
The aim of this note is to classify all weakly closed unipotent subgroups in the split Chevalley groups. In an application we show under some mild assumptions on the characteristic that 2 dimX + dim cg(X) < dim g for X a non-trivial unipotent subgroup of the connected simple algebraic group G. This shows the failure of the analogue of the so called “2F-condition” for finite groups for the adjoint module of G.

Pairs of Short Root Subgroups in a Chevalley Group
The purpose of this paper is to describe subgroups of a Chevalley group G of type B l , C l or F 4 , generated by a pair of unipotent short root subgroups. In fact we do somewhat more: namely, we classify orbits of a Chevalley group acting by simultaneous conjugation on pairs of unipotent short root subgroups. In the sequel of this paper we consider analogous problems for the case of the Cheval...
متن کاملGeneration of Pairs of Short Root Subgroups in Chevalley Groups
On the basis of the Bruhat decomposition, the subgroups generated by pairs of unipotent short root subgroups in Chevalley groups of type B , C , and F4 over an arbitrary field are described. Moreover, the orbits of a Chevalley group acting by conjugation on such pairs are classified.
متن کاملOn the Mal'cev Correspondence
We generalize Mai cev's correspondence [5] to other nilpotent groups, namely to certain maximal unipotent subgroups of Chevalley groups. If -2* is a root system and K is an infinite field of characteristic different to 2 or 3, then we show that a group G elementarily equivalent to U^,(K) is isomorphic to U_^(F), where F is a field elementarily equivalent to K .
متن کاملTHE SCHUR INDICES OF THE CUSPIDAL UNIPOTENT CHARACTERS OF THE FINITE CHEVALLEY GROUPS E7(q)
We show that the two cuspidal unipotent characters of a finite Chevalley group E7(q) have Schur index 2, provided that q is an even power of a (sufficiently large) prime number p such that p ≡ 1 mod 4. The proof uses a refinement of Kawanaka’s generalized Gelfand–Graev representations and some explicit computations with the CHEVIE computer algebra system.
متن کاملInvariant Measures and Orbit Closures on Homogeneous Spaces for Actions of Subgroups Generated by Unipotent Elements
The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More precisely: Let G be a Lie group (not necessarily connected) and Γ a closed subgroup of G. Let W be a subgroup of G such that AdG(W ) is contained in the Zariski clos...
