Enveloping algebras of Slodowy slices and Goldie rank

Let U( \mathfrakg,e ) U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right) be the finite W-algebra associated with a nilpotent element e in a complex simple Lie algebra \mathfrakg = \textLie(G) \mathfrak{g} = {\text{Lie}}(G) and let I be a primitive ideal of the enveloping algebra U( \mathfrakg ) U\left( \mathfrak{g} \right) whose associated variety equals the Zariski closure of the nilpotent orbit (Ad G) e. Then it is known that I = \textAn\textn_{U( \mathfrakg )}( Q_e ?_{U( \mathfrakg,e )}V ) I = {\text{An}}{{\text{n}}_{U\left( \mathfrak{g} \right)}}\left( {{Q_e}{ \otimes_{U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right)}}V} \right) for some finite dimensional irreducible U( \mathfrakg,e ) U\left( {\mathfrak{g},e} \right) -module V, where Q _e stands for the generalised Gelfand–Graev \mathfrakg \mathfrak{g} -module associated with e. The main goal of this paper is to prove that the Goldie rank of the primitive quotient U( \mathfrakg )

Irreducible representations of Lie algebras of reductive groups and the Kac-Weisfeiler conjecture

Letg be the Lie algebra of a connected reductive groupG over an algebraically closed field of characteristicp>0. Suppose thatG ⁽¹⁾ is simply connected andp is good for the root system ofG. Ifp=2, suppose in addition thatg admits a nondegenerateG-invariant trace form. LetV be an irreducible and faithfulg-module withp-character g ^*. It is proved in the paper that dimV is divisible byp ^1/2dim() where () stands for the orbit of under the coadjoint action ofG.Oblatum 14-III-1994 & 17-XI-1994     

The globally irreducible representations of symmetric groups

Let be an algebraic number field and be the ring of integers of . Let be a finite group and be a finitely generated torsion free -module. We say that is a globally irreducible -module if, for every maximal ideal of , the -module is irreducible, where stands for the residue field .

Answering a question of Pham Huu Tiep, we prove that the symmetric group does not have non-trivial globally irreducible modules. More precisely we establish that if is a globally irreducible -module, then is an -module of rank with the trivial or sign action of .

Support Varieties of Non-Restricted Modules over Lie Algebras of Reductive Groups

Let G be a connected semisimple group over an algebraicallyclosed field K of characteristic p>0, and g=Lie (G). Fixa linear function g* and let Z_g() denote the stabilizer of in g. Set N_p(g)={xg|x^[p]=0}. Let C(g) denote the category offinite-dimensional g-modules with p-character . In [7], Friedlanderand Parshall attached to each MOb(C(g)) a Zariski closed, conicalsubset V_g(M)N_p(g) called the support variety of M. Suppose thatG is simply connected and p is not special for G, that is, p2if G has a component of type B_n, C_n or F₄, and p3 if G has acomponent of type G₂. It is proved in this paper that, for anynonzero MOb(C(g)), the support variety V_g(M) is contained inN_p(g)Z_g(). This allows one to simplify the proof of the Kac–Weisfeilerconjecture given in [18].     

The Hesselink stratification of nullcones and base change

Let G be a connected reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p≥0. We give a case-free proof of Lusztig’s conjectures (Lusztig in Transform. Groups 10:449–487, 2005) on so-called unipotent pieces. This presents a uniform picture of the unipotent elements of G which can be viewed as an extension of the Dynkin–Kostant theory, but is valid without restriction on p. We also obtain analogous results for the adjoint action of G on its Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ and the coadjoint action of G on $\mathfrak{g}^{*}$ .
