On Kostant Sections and Topological Nilpotence

چکیده
Let G denote a connected, quasi-split reductive group over a field F that is complete with respect to a discrete valuation and that has a perfect residue field. Under mild hypotheses, we produce a subset of the Lie algebra g(F ) that picks out a G(F )-conjugacy class in every stable, regular, topologically nilpotent conjugacy class in g(F ). This generalizes an earlier result obtained by DeBacker and one of the authors under stronger hypotheses. We then show that if F is p-adic, then the characteristic function of this set behaves well with respect to endoscopic transfer.

Nilpotence in the Steenrod Algebra
While all of the relations in the Steenrod algebra, A, can be deduced in principle from the Adem relations, in practice, it is extremely difficult to determine whether a given polynomial of elements in A is zero for all but the most elementary cases. In his original paper [Mi] Milnor states “It would be interesting to discover a complete set of relations between the given generators of A”. In p...
متن کاملOn Some of the Residual Properties of Finitely Generated Nilpotent Groups
In recent years, the RFRS condition has been used to analyze virtual fibering in 3-manifold topology. Agol’s work shows that any 3-manifold with zero Euler characteristic satisfying the RFRS condition on its fundamental group virtually fibers over the circle. In this note we will show that a finitely generated nilpotent group is either virtually abelian or is not virtually RFRS. As a corollary,...
متن کاملThe Coefficient Field in the Nilpotence Conjecture for Toric Varieties
The main result of the work “The nilpotence conjecture in K-theory of toric varieties” is extended to all coefficient fields of characteristic 0, thus covering the class of genuine toric varieties. 1. The statement Let R be a (commutative) regular ring, M be arbitrary commutative, cancellative, torsion free monoid without nontrivial units, and i be a nonnegative integral number. The nilpotence ...
متن کاملConstruction Methods for Sign Patterns Allowing Nilpotence of Index k
In this paper, the smallest such integer k is called by the index (of nilpotence) of B such that B = 0. In this paper, we study sign patterns allowing nilpotence of index k and obtain four methods to construct sign patterns allowing nilpotence of index at most k, which generalizes some recent results.
متن کاملTOPOLOGICAL MODULAR FORMS [after Hopkins, Miller, and Lurie]
In the early 1970s, Quillen [Qui] noticed a strong connection between 1-parameter formal Lie groups and cohomology theories with a natural theory of Chern classes. The algebraic geometry of these formal Lie groups allowed Morava, Ravenel, and others to make predictions about large scale phenomena in stable homotopy theory, and the resulting theorems completely changed the field. For example, th...
