Sub-principal homomorphisms in positive characteristic | | George J. McNinch
; | | Date: |
21 Aug 2001 | | Journal: | Math. Zeitschrift, 244, pp. 433-455 (2003) DOI: 10.1007/s00209-003-0508-0 | | Subject: | Representation Theory; Group Theory MSC-class: 20G15; 20G40; 17B45 | math.RT math.GR | | Abstract: | Let G be a reductive group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p, and let u in G be a unipotent element of order p. Suppose that p is a good prime for G. We show in this paper that there is a homomorphism phi:SL_2/k --> G whose image contains u. This result was first obtained by D. Testerman (J. Algebra, 1995) using case considerations for each type of simple group (and using, in some cases, computer calculations with explicit representatives for the unipotent orbits). The proof we give is free of case considerations (except in its dependence on the Bala-Carter theorem). Our construction of phi generalizes the construction of a principal homomorphism made by J.-P. Serre in (Invent. Math. 1996); in particular, phi is obtained by reduction modulo P from a homomorphism of group schemes over a valuation ring in a number field. This permits us to show moreover that the weight spaces of a maximal torus of phi(SL_2/k) on Lie(G) are ``the same as in characteristic 0’’; the existence of a phi with this property was previously obtained, again using case considerations, by Lawther and Testerman (Memoirs AMS, 1999) and has been applied in some recent work of G. Seitz (Invent. Math. 2000). | | Source: | arXiv, math.RT/0108140 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
