SOME SIMPLE MODULES FOR CLASSICAL GROUPS AND p-RANKS OF ORTHOGONAL AND HERMITIAN GEOMETRIES
نویسنده
چکیده
We determine the characters of the simple composition factors and the submodule lattices of certain Weyl modules for classical groups. The results have several applications. The simple modules arise in the study of incidence systems in finite geometries and knowledge of their dimensions yields the p-ranks of these incidence systems.

Periodicity of Hermitian K-groups
Bott periodicity for the unitary and symplectic groups is fundamental to topological K-theory. Analogous to unitary topological K-theory, for algebraic K-groups with nite coe¢ cients, similar results are consequences of the Milnor and Bloch-Kato conjectures, a¢ rmed by Voevodsky, Rost and others. More generally, we prove that periodicity of the algebraic K-groups for any ring implies periodici...
متن کاملHERMITIAN K-THEORY OF THE INTEGERS By A. J. BERRICK and M. KAROUBI
Rognes and Weibel used Voevodsky’s work on the Milnor conjecture to deduce the strong Dwyer-Friedlander form of the Lichtenbaum-Quillen conjecture at the prime 2. In consequence (the 2-completion of) the classifying space for algebraic K-theory of the integers Z[1/2] can be expressed as a fiber product of well-understood spaces BO and BGL(F3) over BU. Similar results are now obtained for Hermit...
متن کاملClassification of Quadratic Forms over Skew Fields of Characteristic 2
Quadratic forms over division algebras over local or global fields of characteristic 2 are classified by an invariant derived from the Clifford algebra construction. Quadratic forms over skew fields were defined by Tits in [14] to investigate twisted forms of orthogonal groups in characteristic 2, and by C.T.C. Wall [16] in a topological context. The purpose of this paper is to obtain a classif...
متن کاملFinite Unitary Reflection Groups
Introduction. Any finite group of linear transformations on n variables leaves invariant a positive definite Hermitian form, and can therefore be expressed, after a suitable change of variables, as a group of unitary transformations (5, p. 257). Such a group may be thought of as a group of congruent transformations, keeping the origin fixed, in a unitary space Un of n dimensions, in which the p...
متن کاملR-groups and Elliptic Representations for Similitude Groups
The tempered spectrum of the similitude groups of non-degenerate symplectic, hermitian, or split orthogonal forms defined over p-adic groups of characteristic zero is studied. The components of representations induced from discrete series of proper parabolic subgroups are classified in terms of R-groups. Multiplicity one is proved. The tempered elliptic spectrum is identified, and the relation ...
