A method is presented that allows one to compute the maximum number of functionally-independent invariant functions under the action of a linear algebraic group as long as its Lie algebra admits a basis of square-zero matrices even on a field of positive characteristic. The class of such Lie algebras is studied in the framework of the classical Lie algebras of arbitrary characteristic. Some examples and applications are also given.

The main object of this paper is to develop techniques for investigating the local properties of actions of an algebraic group on an algebraic variety. Our main tools are certain schemes which may be associated to Lie algebras.

AbstractLet G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with Lie algebra g. Then the orbits of nilpotent elements of g under the adjoint action of G have been classified. We describe a simple algorithm for finding a representative of a nilpotent orbit. We use this to compute lists of representatives of these orbits for the Lie algebras of exceptional type. Then we give two applications. The first one concerns settling a conjecture by Elashvili on the index of centralizers of nilpotent orbits, for the case where the Lie algebra is of exceptional type. The second deals with minimal dimensions of centralizers in centralizers.

1. Introduction. Throughout this paper, G is a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field whose characteristic is denoted p. For any closed subgroup H of G, denotes the Lie algebra of H and H0 denotes the connected component of the identity of H.A Borel subalgebra of is the Lie algebra of some Borel subgroup B of G. A maximal torus of is the Lie algebra of some maximal torus T of G. In [4], it is shown that the maximal tori of are the maximal commutative subalgebras of consisting of semisimple elements, and the question was raised in § 14.3 as to whether the set of Borel subalgebras of is the set of maximal triangulable subalgebras of .

Let G be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p. Assume that p is good for G. In this note we consider particular classes of connected reductive subgroups H of G and show that the cocharacters of H that are associated to a given nilpotent element e in the Lie algebra of H are precisely the cocharacters of G associated to e that take values in H. In particular, we show that this is the case provided H is a connected reductive subgroup of G of maximal rank; this answers a question posed by J. C. Jantzen.

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic, $G_{1}$ the Frobenius kernel of $G$, and $T$ a maximal torus of $G$. We show that the parabolically induced $G_{1}T$-Verma modules of singular highest weights are all rigid, determine their Loewy length, and describe their Loewy structure using the periodic Kazhdan–Lusztig $P$- and $Q$-polynomials. We assume that the characteristic of the field is sufficiently large that, in particular, Lusztig’s conjecture for the irreducible $G_{1}T$-characters holds.

The maximal finite abelian subgroups, up to conjugation, of the simple algebraic group of type E8 over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0 are computed. This is equivalent to the determination of the fine gradings on the simple Lie algebra of type E8 with trivial neutral homogeneous component. The Brauer invariant of the irreducible modules for graded semisimple Lie algebras plays a key role.

AbstractWe show that the modules for the Frobenius kernel of a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic $p$ induced from the $p$-regular blocks of its parabolic subgroups can be $\mathbb{Z}$-graded. In particular, we obtain that the modules induced from the simple modules of $p$-regular highest weights are rigid and determine their Loewy series, assuming the Lusztig conjecture on the irreducible characters for the reductive algebraic groups, which is now a theorem for large $p$. We say that a module is rigid if and only if it admits a unique filtration of minimal length with each subquotient semisimple, in which case the filtration is called the Loewy series.
