Incompressibility of Quadratic Weil Transfer of Generalized Severi-brauer Varieties
نویسنده
چکیده
Let X be the variety obtained by the Weil transfer with respect to a quadratic separable field extension of a generalized Severi-Brauer variety. We study (and, in some cases, determine) the canonical dimension, incompressibility, and motivic indecomposability of X . We determine canonical 2-dimension of X (in the general case).

Incompressibility of Products of Weil Transfers of Generalized Severi-brauer Varieties
We generalize the result of [11] on incompressibility of Galois Weil transfer of generalized Severi-Brauer varieties, to direct products of varieties of such type; as shown in [11], this is needed to compute essential dimension of representations of finite groups. We also provide a generalization to non-Galois (separable) Weil transfer.
متن کاملEssential Dimension of Involutions and Subalgebras
We use theorems of N. Karpenko about the incompressibility of Severi Brauer varieties and quadratic Weil transfers of Severi Brauer varieties to compute the minimal number of parameters needed to define conjugacy classes of involutions of given type on division algebras of 2-primary index. Similarly we compute the minimal number of parameters needed to define conjugacy classes of étale subalgeb...
متن کاملHyperbolicity of Unitary Involutions
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 unitar...

Let F be an arbitrary field. Let A be a central simple F -algebra. Let G be the algebraic group AutA of automorphisms of A. Let XA be the class of finite direct products of projective G-homogeneous F -varieties (the class XA includes the generalized Severi-Brauer varieties of the algebra A). Let p be a positive prime integer. For any variety in XA, we determine its canonical dimension at p. In ...
متن کاملUpper Motives of Algebraic Groups and Incompressibility of Severi-brauer Varieties
Let G be a semisimple affine algebraic group of inner type over a field F . We write XG for the class of all finite direct products of projective G-homogeneous F varieties. We determine the structure of the Chow motives with coefficients in a finite field of the varieties in XG. More precisely, it is known that the motive of any variety in XG decomposes (in a unique way) into a sum of indecompo...
