<p>Is there any purely algebraic proof of Borel-Weil-Bott theorem. I mean only techniques from Algebraic group. In each and every proof I have seen so far they use Lie group techniques and then translate to Algebraic group version. I need a proper reference which is easily readable.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Near the bottom of <a href="http://www.math.harvard.edu/~lurie/" rel="nofollow">Jacob Lurie's homepage</a>, you can find an exposition of the Borel-Weil-Bott theorem from an algebro-geometric standpoint. It is "easily readable" if you're familiar with the things like line bundles on projective varieties, semisimple algebraic groups, etc.. </p>

<p>The simplest proof of Borel-Weil-Bott that I know is due to Demazure: he has two papers in Inventiones (one in 1968 the other in 1976) on the theorem, and the second is two pages long -- it gives a simplification of his previous proof, and he uses only algebro-geometric techniques. Both papers are readable. </p>

<p>See J.C. Jantzen "Representations of Algebraic Groups" II.5 especially II.5.5. </p> <p>There you will find an algebraic proof of the result in char. 0 (probably more-or-less Demazure's proof, mentioned in another answer). And you'll find a proof of some of what remains true in positive char (due to Henning Anderson).</p>
