Let G be a reductive group scheme over the p-adic integers, and let $$\mu $$ minuscule cocharacter for G. In Hodge-type case, we construct functor from nilpotent $$(G,\mu )$$ -displays p-nilpotent rings R to formal p-divisible groups equipped with crystalline Tate tensors. When R/pR has p-basis étale locally, show that this defines an equivalence between two categories. The definition of relies...

A subgroup H of a group G is called conjugately dense in G if H has nonempty intersection with each class of conjugate elements in G. The knowledge of conjugately dense subgroups is related with an unsolved problem in group theory, as testified in the Kourovka Notebook. Here we point out the role of conjugately dense subgroups in generalized FC-groups, generalized soluble groups and generalized...

We shall term a group G supersoluble if every homomorphic image H9*l of G contains a cyclic normal subgroup different from 1. Supersoluble groups with maximum condition, in particular finite supersoluble groups, have been investigated by various authors: Hirsch, Ore, Zappa and more recently Huppert and Wielandt. In the present note we want to establish the close connection between supersoluble ...

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 tha...

We study the asymptotic behaviour of the orbit-counting function and a dynamical Mertens’ theorem for the full G-shift for a finitely-generated torsion-free nilpotent group G. Using bounds for the Möbius function on the lattice of subgroups of finite index and known subgroup growth estimates, we find a single asymptotic of the shape

If (π, V ) is an admissible representation of a p-adic reductive group G and P = MN is a parabolic subgroupwith unipotent radicalN , its Jacquet module VN is the universalN -trivial quotientH0(N,V ) of V by the span of vectors π(n)v − v (n ∈ N ). One fundamental property is that V VN is an exact functor. This construction plays an important role in homomorphisms into representations induced fro...

We prove that a group G is Abelian whenever (1) it is nilpotent and the lattice of normal subgroups of G is isomorphic to the subgroup lattice of an Abelian group or (2) there exists a non-torsion Abelian group B such that the normal subgroup lattice of B × G is isomorphic to the subgroup lattice of an Abelian group. Using (2), it is proved that an Abelian group A can be determined in the class...

We give an explicit and character-free construction of a complete set of orthogonal primitive idempotents of a rational group algebra of a finite nilpotent group and a full description of the Wedderburn decomposition of such algebras. An immediate consequence is a well-known result of Roquette on the Schur indices of the simple components of group algebras of finite nilpotent groups. As an appl...

Let Fp denote the field with p elements and F̄p its algebraic closure. We show that the singular cochain functor with coefficients in F̄p induces a contravariant equivalence between the homotopy category of connected pcomplete nilpotent spaces of finite p-type and a full subcategory of the homotopy category of E∞ F̄p-algebras.

in which GiCG and Gi+1/Gi ⊂ Z(G/Gi) for all i. We call G solvable if it admits a normal series (1.1) in which Gi+1/Gi is abelian for all i. Every nilpotent group is solvable. Nilpotent groups include finite p-groups, and some theorems about p-groups extend to nilpotent groups (e.g., any nontrivial normal subgroup of a nilpotent group has a nontrivial intersection with the center). There is a la...
