The Centralizer of a Nilpotent Section
نویسنده
چکیده
Let F be an algebraically closed field and let G be a semisimple F-algebraic group for which the characteristic of F is very good. If X ∈ Lie(G) = Lie(G)(F) is a nilpotent element in the Lie algebra of G, and if C is the centralizer in G of X, we show that (i) the root datum of a Levi factor of C, and (ii) the component group C/Co both depend only on the Bala-Carter label of X; i.e. both are independent of very good characteristic. The result in case (ii) depends on the known case when G is (simple and) of adjoint type. The proofs are achieved by studying the centralizer C of a nilpotent section X in the Lie algebra of a suitable semisimple group scheme over a Noetherian, normal, local ring A. When the centralizer of X is equidimensional on Spec(A), a crucial result is that locally in the étale topology there is a smoothA-subgroup scheme L of C such that Lt is a Levi factor of Ct for each t ∈ Spec(A).

On the Centralizer of the Sum of Commuting Nilpotent Elements
Let X and Y be commuting nilpotent K-endomorphisms of a vector space V , where K is a field of characteristic p ≥ 0. If F = K(t) is the field of rational functions on the projective line P1/K , consider the K(t)-endomorphism A = X+ tY of V . If p = 0, or if A = 0, we show here that X and Y are tangent to the unipotent radical of the centralizer of A in GL(V ). For all geometric points (a : b) o...
متن کاملOn solubility of groups with finitely many centralizers
For any group G, let C(G) denote the set of centralizers of G.We say that a group G has n centralizers (G is a Cn-group) if |C(G)| = n.In this note, we prove that every finite Cn-group with n ≤ 21 is soluble andthis estimate is sharp. Moreover, we prove that every finite Cn-group with|G| < 30n+1519 is non-nilpotent soluble. This result gives a partial answer to aconjecture raised by A. Ashrafi in ...
متن کاملComponent Groups of Centralizers of Nilpotents in Complex Symmetric Space Donald R. King
Let G be the adjoint group of a simple Lie algebra g, and let KC ! Aut(pC) be the complexi ed isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. If e 2 pC is nilpotent, we consider the centralizer of e in KC. We show that the conjugacy classes of the component group of this centralizer can be described in terms generalizing the Bala-Carter classi cation of nilpo...

Recently, V.Ginzburg introduced the notion of a principal nilpotent pair (= pn-pair) in a semisimple Lie algebra g [Gi99]. It is a double counterpart of the notion of a regular nilpotent element in g. A pair e = (e1, e2) ∈ g × g is called nilpotent, if [e1, e2] = 0 and there exists a pair h = (h1, h2) of semisimple elements such that [h1, h2] = 0, [hi, ej ] = δijej (i, j ∈ {1, 2}). A pn-pair e ...
متن کاملElementary Invariants for Centralizers of Nilpotent Matrices
We construct an explicit set of algebraically independent generators for the center of the universal enveloping algebra of the centralizer of a nilpotent matrix in the general linear Lie algebra over a field of characteristic zero. In particular, this gives a new proof of the freeness of the center, a result first proved by Panyushev, Premet and Yakimova.
