This question largely duplicates the earlier one on MO 13657. (Also, note the analytic approach in the 2002 AMS graduate text by J.L. Taylor on several complex variables etc.) – Jim Humphreys Feb 28 2012 at 21:54

thank you very much for the AMS graduate text and the analytic approach. I have not noticed it before!I will check it – math3.14159 Feb 29 2012 at 10:13

Chapter II.5 in Jantzen's Representations of Algebraic Groups offers an algebraic treatment of this theorem.

	If you're looking for Borel-Weil-Bott theory in positive characteristic, this book is definitely the best exposition I know of. – Chuck Hague Feb 28 2012 at 19:44
	many thanks, it is really useful – math3.14159 Feb 29 2012 at 10:13
