Hyperbolicity of Unitary Involutions

چکیده
We prove the so-called Unitary Hyperbolicity Theorem, a result on hyperbolicity of unitary involutions. The analogous previously known results for the orthogonal and symplectic involutions are formal consequences of the unitary one. While the original proofs in the orthogonal and symplectic cases were based on the incompressibility of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties, the proof in the unitary case is based on the incompressibility of their Weil transfers.

Hyperbolicity Criteria for Certain Involutions
Using the ideas and techniques developed by Bayer-Fluckiger, Shapiro and Tignol about hyperbolic involutions of central simple algebras, criteria for the hyperbolicity of involutions of the form σ⊗ τ and σ⊗ ρ, where σ is an involution of a central simple algebra A, τ is the nontrivial automorphism of a quadratic extension of the center of A and ρ is an involution of a quaternion algebra are obt...
متن کاملEigenvalues of Products of Unitary Matrices and Lagrangian Involutions
This paper introduces a submanifold of the moduli space of unitary representations of the fundamental group of a punctured sphere with fixed local monodromy. The submanifold is defined via products of involutions through Lagrangian subspaces. We show that the moduli space of Lagrangian representations is a Lagrangian submanifold of the moduli of unitary representations.
متن کاملHyperbolicity of Orthogonal Involutions
We show that a non-hyperbolic orthogonal involution on a central simple algebra over a field of characteristic 6= 2 remains non-hyperbolic over some splitting field of the algebra.
متن کاملAsymptotics of the Number of Involutions in Finite Classical Groups
Answering a question of Geoff Robinson, we compute the large n limiting proportion of i(n, q)/qbn 2/2c, where i(n, q) denotes the number of involutions in GL(n, q). We give similar results for the finite unitary, symplectic, and orthogonal groups, in both odd and even characteristic. At the heart of this work are certain new “sum=product” identities. Our self-contained treatment of the enumerat...
متن کاملCommuting Involution Graphs for 3-Dimensional Unitary Groups
For a group G and X a subset of G the commuting graph of G on X, denoted by C(G,X), is the graph whose vertex set is X with x, y ∈ X joined by an edge if x 6= y and x and y commute. If the elements in X are involutions, then C(G,X) is called a commuting involution graph. This paper studies C(G,X) when G is a 3-dimensional projective special unitary group and X a G-conjugacy class of involutions...
