Let K be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over K. We address the problem of classifying triples (G, H, V ), where H is a proper connected subgroup of G, and V is a finitedimensional ir ...
Let k be a field, and let L be an etale k-algebra of finite rank. If a is an element of k(x), let X-a be the affine variety defined by N-L/k(x) = a. Assuming that L has at least one factor that is a cyclic field extension of k, we give a combinatorial desc ...
We continue our work, started in [9], on the program of classifying triples (X, Y, V), where X, Yare simple algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero with X < Y, and Vis an irreducible module for Y such that the restriction ...
Let k be an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic, let G be a simple simply connected linear algebraic group and let V be a rational irreducible tensor-indecomposable finite-dimensional kG-module. For an element g of G we denote by $V_{g}( ...
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field F of characteristic p >= h, the Coxeter number of G. We observe an easy 'recursion formula' for computing the Jantzen sum formula of a Weyl module with p-regular highest weight. We also d ...
Let G be either a simple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic l>0 or a quantum group at an l-th root of unity. The category Rep(G) of finite-dimensional G-modules is non-semisimple. In this thesis, we develop new tech ...
We use birational geometry to show that the existence of rational points on proper rationally connected varieties over fields of characteristic 0 is a consequence of the existence of rational points on terminal Fano varieties. We discuss several consequenc ...
Let G be a classical group with natural module V over an algebraically closed field of good characteristic. For every unipotent element u of G, we describe the Jordan block sizes of u on the irreducible G-modules which occur as compositio ...
Let be a simple exceptional algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic and let be a subgroup of containing a regular unipotent element of . By a theorem of Testerman, is contained in a connected subgroup of of type ...
We show that mixed-characteristic and equicharacteristic small deformations of 3-dimensional canonical (resp., terminal) singularities with perfect residue field of characteristic p>5 are canonical (resp., terminal). We discuss applications to arithmetic a ...
