Canonical Dimension of Orthogonal Groups

چکیده
We prove Berhuy-Reichstein’s conjecture on the canonical dimension of orthogonal groups showing that for any integer n ≥ 1, the canonical dimension of SO2n+1 and of SO2n+2 is equal to n(n + 1)/2. More precisely, for a given (2n + 1)-dimensional quadratic form φ defined over an arbitrary field F of characteristic 6= 2, we establish certain property of the correspondences on the orthogonal grassmanian X of n-dimensional totally isotropic subspaces of φ, provided that the degree over F of any finite splitting field of φ is divisible by 2n; this property allows to prove that the function field of X has the minimal transcendence degree among all generic splitting fields of φ.

A Bound for Canonical Dimension of the Spinor Group
Using the theory of non-negative intersections, duality of the Schubert varieties, and Pieri-type formula for a maximal orthogonal grassmannian, we get an upper bound for the canonical dimension cd(Spinn) of the spinor group Spinn. A lower bound is given by the canonical 2-dimension cd2(Spinn), computed in [8]. If n or n + 1 is a power of 2, no space is left between these two bounds; therefore ...
متن کاملCANONICAL BASES FOR sl(2,C)-MODULES OF SPHERICAL MONOGENICS IN DIMENSION 3
Spaces of homogeneous spherical monogenics in dimension 3 can be considered naturally as sl(2,C)-modules. As finite-dimensional irreducible sl(2,C)-modules, they have canonical bases which are, by construction, orthogonal. In this note, we show that these orthogonal bases form the Appell system and coincide with those constructed recently by S. Bock and K. Gürlebeck in [3]. Moreover, we obtain ...
متن کاملInvariants and canonical forms for linear multivariable systems under the action of orthogonal transformation groups
Subject of the present paper is the study and construction of complete independent invariants and canonical forms for linear multivariable systems under the action of orthogonal transformation groups. Stable computational algorithms for finding the orthogonal canonical forms are presented and their numerical properties are discussed. In view of their nice numerical properties the orthogonal can...
متن کاملConformal dimension and canonical splittings of hyperbolic groups
We prove a general criterion for a metric space to have conformal dimension one. The conditions are stated in terms of the existence of enough local cut points in the space. We then apply this criterion to the boundaries of hyperbolic groups and show an interesting relationship between conformal dimension and some canonical splittings of the group.
متن کاملLower Bounds for Essential Dimensions in Characteristic 2 via Orthogonal Representations
We give a lower bound for the essential dimension of a split simple algebraic group of “adjoint” type over a field of characteristic 2. We also compute the essential dimension of orthogonal and special orthogonal groups in characteristic 2.
