Levi Factors and Admissible Automorphisms

Let $\mathfrak {g}$ g be a complex simple Lie algebra. We consider subalgebras $\mathfrak {m}$ m which are Levi factors of parabolic subalgebras of $\mathfrak {g}$ g , or equivalently $\mathfrak {m}$ m is the centralizer of its center. We introduced the notion of admissible systems on finite order $\mathfrak {g}$ g -automorphisms 𝜃, and show that 𝜃 has admissible systems if and only if its fixed point set is a Levi factor. We then use the extended Dynkin diagrams to characterize such automorphisms, and look for automorphisms of minimal order.

On Vinberg ( − 1,1) rings

We give a description of a 2-torsion free Vinberg ([Formula: see text]) ring [Formula: see text]. If every nonzero root space of [Formula: see text] for [Formula: see text] is one-dimensional where [Formula: see text] is a split abelian Cartan subring of [Formula: see text] which is nil on [Formula: see text] then [Formula: see text] is a Lie ring isomorphic to [Formula: see text]. This generalizes the known result obtained by Myung for the case that [Formula: see text] is a 2-torsion free Vinberg ([Formula: see text]) ring and is power associative. We also give a condition that a Levi factor [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text] be an ideal of [Formula: see text] when the solvable radical of [Formula: see text] is nilpotent. We apply these results for reductive case of [Formula: see text].

Some Results on Equivalence Groups

The comparison of two common types of equivalence groups of differential equations is discussed, and it is shown that one type can be identified with a subgroup of the other type, and a case where the two groups are isomorphic is exhibited. A result on the determination of the finite transformations of the infinitesimal generator of the larger group, which is useful for the determination of the invariant functions of the differential equation, is also given. In addition, the Levidecomposition of the Lie algebra associated with the larger group is found; the Levi factor of which is shown to be equal, up to a constant factor, to the Lie algebra associated with the smaller group.

The Centralizer of a Nilpotent Section

Let F be an algebraically closed field and let G be a semisimple F-algebraic group for which the characteristic of F is very good. If X ∈ Lie(G) = Lie(G)(F) is a nilpotent element in the Lie algebra of G, and if C is the centralizer in G of X, we show that (i) the root datum of a Levi factor of C, and (ii) the component group C/C° both depend only on the Bala-Carter label of X; i.e. both are independent of very good characteristic. The result in case (ii) depends on the known case when G is (simple and) of adjoint type.The proofs are achieved by studying the centralizer of a nilpotent section X in the Lie algebra of a suitable semisimple group scheme over a Noetherian, normal, local ring . When the centralizer of X is equidimensional on Spec(), a crucial result is that locally in the étale topology there is a smooth -subgroup scheme L of such that Lt is a Levi factor of for each t ∈ Spec ().

Structure of Modules Induced from Simple Modules with Minimal Annihilator

We study the structure of generalized Verma modules over a semi-simple complex finite-dimensional Lie algebra, which are induced from simple modules over a parabolic subalgebra. We consider the case when the annihilator of the starting simple module is a minimal primitive ideal if we restrict this module to the Levi factor of the parabolic subalgebra. We show that these modules correspond to proper standard modules in some parabolic generalization of the Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand category and prove that the blocks of this parabolic category are equivalent to certain blocks of the category of Harish-Chandra bimodules. From this we derive, in particular, an irreducibility criterion for generalized Verma modules. We also compute the composition multiplicities of those simple subquotients, which correspond to the induction from simple modules whose annihilators are minimal primitive ideals.

Complementary Series for Hermitian Quaternionic Groups

Let G be a hermitian quaternionic group. We determine complementary series for representations of G induced from super-cuspidal representations of a Levi factor of the Siegel maximal parabolic subgroup of G.
