Elliptic Weyl Group Elements and Unipotent Isometries

چکیده
Let G be a classical group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 2 and let C be an elliptic conjugacy class in the Weyl group. In a previous paper the first named author associated to C a unipotent conjugacy class Φ(C) of G. In this paper we show that Φ(C) can be characterized in terms of the closure relations between unipotent classes. Previously, the analogous result was known in odd characteristic and for exceptional groups in any characteristic.

ELLIPTIC WEYL GROUP ELEMENTS AND UNIPOTENT ISOMETRIES WITH p = 2

متن کاملAlgebraic Characterization of the Dynamical Types of Isometries of the Hyperbolic 5-space
Let M(n) denote the group of orientation-preserving isometries of H. Classically, one uses the disk model for H to define the dynamical type of an isometry. In this model an isometry is elliptic if it has a fixed point on the disk. An isometry is parabolic, resp. hyperbolic, if it is not elliptic and has one, resp. two fixed points on the conformal boundary of the hyperbolic space. If in additi...
متن کاملResearch Summary and Plan
My research focuses on topics related to unipotent classes and Springer theory for algebraic groups. These concepts are intimately related to the representation theory of Weyl groups. I have recently also become interested in complex reflection groups, which can be viewed as generalizations of Weyl groups. Combinatorial methods and algorithms have a long history as a means for studying all of t...
متن کاملThe Partial Order on Two-sided Cells of Certain Affine Weyl Groups
In their famous paper [6], Kazhdan and Lusztig introduced the concept of equivalence classes such as left cell, right cell and two-sided cell in a Coxeter group W . We inherit the notations 6 L , 6 R , 6 LR , ∼ L , ∼ R and ∼ LR in [6]. Thus w ∼ LR y (resp. w ∼ L y, resp. w ∼ R y) means that the elements w, y ∈ W are in the same two-sided cell (resp. left cell, resp. right cell) of W , etc. Conc...
متن کاملFrom Conjugacy Classes in the Weyl Group to Unipotent Classes
Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraic closed field. We define a (surjective) map from the set of conjugacy classes in the Weyl group to the set of unipotent classes in G.
