In this study we define complex flag spaces for Go and chara:cterize the isotropy groups for corresponding Go and K-actions. 1 Introduction Suppose Go is a reductive Lie group of Harish-Chandra class [5, Section 3] and letG denote the corresponding complex adjoint group. be the complexification of Let K a maximal compact subgroup of Go. By defi.bition, a complexflag spacefo r Go is a homogeneous, complex projective, algebraic G-space. A parabolic subgroup of G can be defined as any subgroup that contains a maximal connected solvable subgroup of G. From the work of Tits and Borel [6], olie knows th�t the complex flag spaceS Y for Go arethe sp�es of the form Y = G/P where G is a parabolic subgroup. The groups Go and act on Y. P � K The purpose of this paper is to prove a basictechnical result characterizing certain the structure of the isotropy groups for the Go and K-actions in Y. Thischaracter­ ization is fundamental to the program of geometric construction of representations for Go in Y (consider for example [1, Proposition 1 and Lemma I], where the result is without proof, as well as [2] where the result is also but · a special, used used, in well-known context; also mention [3] and [4] where the result of this paper is needed). Althoughwe one an infinitesimal result [9], it seems a general also finds in proof of the structure and decomposition for the isotropy groups does not appear in the existing literature. The of this article is to that void. In particular, our aim fill result here is Theorem 4.4 in Section 4. main Actually, open the scope a little wider in this paper. Specifically, we prove our result thewe context of complex flagspaces for reductive Lie groups (not necessarily in Tim 96 Bratten of Harish-Chandra class). Although quite simple, our definition· and characteriza­ tion of complex flag spaces for reductive Lie groups also does not seem to appear anywhere in the current literature. This context requireSsome simple gen­ enlarged eralizations as well as consideration of spaces, parabolic sub oups, etc. for flag disconnected complex algebraica groups. gr Our paperis organizedas follows. The firstsection the introduction. the second is In sectionwe usher in the class reductive groups [7, e n review some of Lie D fini io 4.29] , key structure theory, and define a correspondingcomplex adjoint t group. In the third section introduce the complex algebraic groups and prove a simple lemma linear about thewe fixed point sets of involutions. We then consider the theory of flag spaces, parabolic subgroups, etc. for disconnected complex linear a.lgebraic groups. In the last section we define complex flag spaces for reductive Lie groups and prove our result about the structure of the isotropy groups. We conclude this introduction with a few remarks about our terminology. The nilradical of a Lie algebra is defined to be the radical of the corresponding derived algebra. Thus the nilradical the intersectionof the kernels of finite-dimensional is all irreducible representations [11, Theorem 3.8.1, Theorem3.14.1 and Theorem 3.16.2]. With this definition, the unipotent radical of a parabolic subgroup of a complex reductive group has Lie algebra the nilradical of the corresponding parabolic subal­ gebra [12, Section 1.2.2, page 55]. When Go is aLie group with Lie algebra go, then the derived subgroup of is the connected subgroup with Lie algebra. Go [go, go] . A finite-dimensional representation of Go always means a continuousrepresentation in a finite-dimensional complex vector space. Suppose a complex Lie group with G is Lie algebra Then a conjugation of G a continuous involutive automorphism g. is whose derivative is conjugate linear on The conjugation is called compact its g. if fixedpoint set is a compact subset of form of means a closed subgroup G. A real G whose Lie algebra is a real form of g. 2 Reductive Lie Groups In this section we beginby defining reductive Lie groups and reviewing the Cartan decompositio,n. Next, review the well-known correspondence between complex reductive groups and compactwe Lie groups. We conclude the section by defining and considering what we the complex adjoint group for (in case of a call Go the Harish-Chandra class group, our definition coincides with the usual definition).

  • Automorphism Groups of Locally Compact Reductive Groups
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE AMERICAN MATHEMATICALSOCIETY Volume 106, Number 2, June 1989 AUTOMORPHISM GROUPS OF LOCALLY COMPACT REDUCTIVE GROUPS T. S. WU (Communicated by David G Ebin) Dedicated to Mr. Chu. Ming-Lun on his seventieth birthday Abstract. A topological group G is reductive if every continuous finite di- mensional G-module is semi-simple. We study the structure of those locally compact reductive groups which are the extension of their identity components by compact groups. We then study the automorphism groups of such groups in connection with the groups of inner automorphisms. Proposition. Let G be a locally compact reductive group such that G/Gq is compact. Then /(Go) is dense in Aq(G) . Let G be a locally compact topological group. Let A(G) be the group of all bi-continuous automorphisms of G. Then A(G) has the natural topology (the so-called Birkhoff topology or ^-topology [1, 3, 4]), so that it becomes a topo- logical group. We shall always adopt such topology in the following discussion. When G is compact, it is well known that the identity component A0(G) of A(G) is the group of all inner automorphisms induced by elements from the identity component G0 of G, i.e., A0(G) = I(G0). This fact is very useful in the study of the structure of locally compact groups. On the other hand, it is also well known that when G is a semi-simple Lie group with finitely many connected components A0(G) - I(G0). The latter fact had been generalized to more general groups ([3]).

  • 1:34 Pm April 11, 2013 Red.Tex
    1:34 p.m. April 11, 2013 Red.tex The structure of reductive groups Bill Casselman University of British Columbia, Vancouver [email protected] An algebraic group defined over F is an algebraic variety G with group operations specified in algebraic terms. For example, the group GLn is the subvariety of (n + 1) × (n + 1) matrices A 0 0 a with determinant det(A) a = 1. The matrix entries are well behaved functions on the group, here for 1 example a = det− (A). The formulas for matrix multiplication are certainly algebraic, and the inverse of a matrix A is its transpose adjoint times the inverse of its determinant, which are both algebraic. Formally, this means that we are given (a) an F •rational multiplication map G × G −→ G; (b) an F •rational inverse map G −→ G; (c) an identity element—i.e. an F •rational point of G. I’ll look only at affine algebraic groups (as opposed, say, to elliptic curves, which are projective varieties). In this case, the variety G is completely characterized by its affine ring AF [G], and the data above are respectively equivalent to the specification of (a’) an F •homomorphism AF [G] −→ AF [G] ⊗F AF [G]; (b’) an F •involution AF [G] −→ AF [G]; (c’) a distinguished homomorphism AF [G] −→ F . The first map expresses a coordinate in the product in terms of the coordinates of its terms. For example, in the case of GLn it takes xik −→ xij ⊗ xjk . j In addition, these data are subject to the group axioms. I’ll not say anything about the general theory of such groups, but I should say that in practice the specification of an algebraic group is often indirect—as a subgroup or quotient, say, of another simpler one.

  • Linear Algebraic Groups
    Clay Mathematics Proceedings Volume 4, 2005 Linear Algebraic Groups Fiona Murnaghan Abstract. We give a summary, without proofs, of basic properties of linear algebraic groups, with particular emphasis on reductive algebraic groups. 1. Algebraic groups Let K be an algebraically closed field. An algebraic K-group G is an algebraic variety over K, and a group, such that the maps µ : G × G → G, µ(x, y) = xy, and ι : G → G, ι(x)= x−1, are morphisms of algebraic varieties. For convenience, in these notes, we will fix K and refer to an algebraic K-group as an algebraic group. If the variety G is affine, that is, G is an algebraic set (a Zariski-closed set) in Kn for some natural number n, we say that G is a linear algebraic group. If G and G′ are algebraic groups, a map ϕ : G → G′ is a homomorphism of algebraic groups if ϕ is a morphism of varieties and a group homomorphism. Similarly, ϕ is an isomorphism of algebraic groups if ϕ is an isomorphism of varieties and a group isomorphism. A closed subgroup of an algebraic group is an algebraic group. If H is a closed subgroup of a linear algebraic group G, then G/H can be made into a quasi- projective variety (a variety which is a locally closed subset of some projective space). If H is normal in G, then G/H (with the usual group structure) is a linear algebraic group. Let ϕ : G → G′ be a homomorphism of algebraic groups. Then the kernel of ϕ is a closed subgroup of G and the image of ϕ is a closed subgroup of G.

  • Real Group Orbits on Flag Manifolds
    Real group orbits on flag manifolds Dmitri Akhiezer Abstract In this survey, we gather together various results on the action of a real form G0 of a complex semisimple group G on its flag manifolds. We start with the finiteness theorem of J. Wolf implying that at least one of the G0-orbits is open. We give a new proof of the converse statement for real forms of inner type, essentially due to F.M. Malyshev. Namely, if a real form of inner type G0 ⊂ G has an open orbit on a complex algebraic homogeneous space G/H then H is parabolic. In order to prove this, we recall, partly with proofs, some results of A.L. Onishchik on the factorizations of reductive groups. Finally, we discuss the cycle spaces of open G0-orbits and define the crown of a symmetric space of non- compact type. With some exceptions, the cycle space agrees with the crown. We sketch a complex analytic proof of this result, due to G. Fels, A. Huckleberry and J. Wolf. 1 Introduction The first systematic treatment of the orbit structure of a complex flag manifold X = G/P under the action of a real form G0 ⊂ G is due to J. Wolf [38]. Forty years after his paper, these real group orbits and their cycle spaces are still an object of intensive research. We present here some results in this area, together with other related results on transitive and locally transitive actions of Lie groups on complex manifolds. The paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we prove the celebrated finiteness theorem for G0-orbits on X (Theorem 2.3).

  • NON-SPLIT REDUCTIVE GROUPS OVER Z Brian Conrad
    NON-SPLIT REDUCTIVE GROUPS OVER Z Brian Conrad Abstract. | We study the following phenomenon: some non-split connected semisimple Q-groups G admit flat affine Z-group models G with \everywhere good reduction" (i.e., GFp is a connected semisimple Fp-group for every prime p). Moreover, considering such G up to Z-group isomorphism, there can be more than one such G for a given G. This is seen classically for types B and D by using positive-definite quadratic lattices. The study of such Z-groups provides concrete applications of many facets of the theory of reductive groups over rings (scheme of Borel subgroups, auto- morphism scheme, relative non-abelian cohomology, etc.), and it highlights the role of number theory (class field theory, mass formulas, strong approximation, point-counting over finite fields, etc.) in analyzing the possibilities. In part, this is an expository account of [G96].

  • Classification of Special Reductive Groups 11
    CLASSIFICATION OF SPECIAL REDUCTIVE GROUPS ALEXANDER MERKURJEV Abstract. We give a classification of special reductive groups over arbitrary fields that improves a theorem of M. Huruguen. 1. Introduction An algebraic group G over a field F is called special if for every field extension K=F all G-torsors over K are trivial. Examples of special linear groups include: 1. The general linear group GLn, and more generally the group GL1(A) of invertible elements in a central simple F -algebra A; 2. The special linear group SLn and the symplectic group Sp2n; 3. Quasi-trivial tori, and more generally invertible tori (direct factors of quasi-trivial tori). 4. If L=F is a finite separable field extension and G is a special group over L, then the Weil restriction RL=F (G) is a special group over F . A. Grothendieck proved in [3] that a reductive group G over an algebraically closed field is special if and only if the derived subgroup of G is isomorphic to the product of special linear groups and symplectic groups. In [4] M. Huruguen proved the following theorem. Theorem. Let G be a reductive group over a field F . Then G is special if and only if the following three condition hold: (1) The derived subgroup G0 of G is isomorphic to RL=F (SL1(A)) × RK=F (Sp(h)) where L and K are ´etale F -algebras, A an Azumaya algebra over L and h an alternating non-degenerate form over K. (2) The coradical G=G0 of G is an invertible torus.

  • Examples of the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations
    Examples of the Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations Jeffrey Adams September 9, 2007 1 Introduction The Atlas of Lie Groups and Representations is a project in representation theory of real reductive groups. The main goal of the atlas computer soft- ware, currently under development, is to compute the unitary dual of any real reductive Lie group G. As a step in this direction it currently computes the admissible representations of G. The underlying mathematics of the software is described in Algorithms for Representation Theory of Real Reductive Groups [1]. This paper is a com- plement, and contains examples illustrating the algorithm and the software. 1.1 How to read this paper A brief summary of the main constructions and results of Algorithms for Representation Theory of Real Reductive Groups is given in Section 2. We recommend the reader have the paper [1] available. Unexplained notation is as in [1]. We also recommend the reader download the software from the At- las web site, www.liegroups.org; also see the www.liegroups.org/papers. The online help commands are another a useful source of information. The software is currently in an early stage of development (version 0.2.6). There will be substantial changes to the interface for version 1.0, and some additional features, which we hope to release in fall 2008. Most of the changes in the interface will be in the input methods, and we do not expect the format of ouptut to change significantly. 1 We plan to publish a manual for the software at the time version 1.0 is released.

    Lusztig’s partition and sheets Giovanna Carnovale With an Appendix by M. Bulois Abstract We show that, for a connected reductive algebraic group G over an alge- braically closed field of zero or good characteristic, the parts, called strata, in the partition of G recently introduced by Lusztig are unions of sheets. For G simple and adjoint we refine the parametrization of sheets obtained in previous work with F. Esposito. We give a simple combinatorial description of strata containing spherical conjugacy classes, showing that Lusztig’s cor- respondence induces a bijection between sets of spherical conjugacy classes and sets of classes of involutions in the Weyl group. Using ideas from the Appendix by M. Bulois, we show that the closure of a stratum is not neces- sarily a union of strata. Key-words: conjugacy class; sheet; Lusztig’s partition; Bruhat decomposition MSC: 20G15, 20E45 (primary), 20F55 (secondary). 1 Introduction The sheets for the action of an algebraic group on a variety X are the maximal irreducible subsets of X consisting of points whose orbit has fixed dimension. Many important invariants of such actions are preserved along sheets. Sheets for the action of a complex connected reductive algebraic group on its Lie algebra are very well understood [3, 2]. Along similar lines, a parametrization and a description of sheets of conjugacy classes in a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of zero or good characteristic has been given in [8]. G. Lusztig defined in [27] a partition of a connected reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field into certain unions of conjugacy classes of 1 the same dimension.

    24 VICTORIA HOSKINS 3.6. Moduli spaces and quotients. Let us give one result about the construction of moduli spaces using group quotients. For a moduli problem , a family over a schemeS has the local universal property if for any other family overM a schemeT Fand for anyk-pointt T, there exists a neighbourhoodU oft inT and a morphismG f:U S such that ∈ f . → G| U ∼U ∗F Proposition 3.35. For a moduli problem , let be a family with the local universal property over a schemeS. Furthermore, suppose thatM thereF is an algebraic groupG acting onS such that twok-points s, t lie in the sameG-orbit if and only if . Then F t ∼F s a) any coarse moduli space is a categorical quotient of theG-action onS; b) a categorical quotient of theG-action onS is a coarse moduli space if and only if it is an orbit space. Proof. For any schemeM, we claim that there is a bijective correspondence natural transformationsη: h G-invariant morphismsf:S M { M→ M } ←→{ → } given byη η S( ), which isG-invariant by our assumptions about theG-action onS.
