The Irreducible Characters for Semi-Simple Algebraic Groups and for Quantum Groups
Let G be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of prime characteristic p. The first question that presents itself when we look at finitedimensional representations of G is the problem of how to determine the irreducible characters. This is the problem we want to discuss in this lecture. It is well known how a solution of this problem also solves the problem of determi...
متن کاملOn Commutators in Groups
Commutators originated over 100 years ago as a by-product of computing group characters of nonabelian groups. They are now an established and immensely useful tool in all of group theory. Commutators became objects of interest in their own right soon after their introduction. In particular, the phenomenon that the set of commutators does not necessarily form a subgroup has been well documented ...
متن کاملSemi-algebraic Geometry of Braid Groups
The braid group of n-strings is the group of homotopy types of movements of n distinct points in the 2-plane R. It was introduced by E. Artin [1] in 1926 in order to study knots in R. He gave a presentation of the braid group by generators and relations, which are, nowadays, called the Artin braid relations. Since then, not only in the study of knots, the braid groups appear in several contexts...
متن کاملON COMMUTATORS IN p-GROUPS
For a given prime p, what is the smallest integer n such that there exists a group of order p in which the set of commutators does not form a subgroup? In this paper we show that n = 6 for any odd prime and n = 7 for p = 2.
متن کاملAn Invariant of Simple Algebraic Groups
The Rost invariant associated with a simple simply connected algebraic group G is used to define an invariant of strongly inner forms of G. This invariant takes values in a quotient of H(k, Q/Z(2)). It is used to answer a question of Serre about groups of type E6 and to prove a generalization of Gille’s splitting criterion for groups of type E6 and E7. For G a semisimple (affine) algebraic grou...
