Aug 11, 2013 at 19:49 comment added Jim Humphreys @CA: To update the history, I think I did see the title Algebre communicatif on an old Bourbaki chapter, and certainly the copy I have of their 1959 Chap. 4-5 in the series Algebre has a cover describing Chap. 5 as Corps communicatifs. I've also run across the spelling Communicative used for Eisenbud's book and a later collection he edited after an Asian conference. The spelling is contagious.
Aug 11, 2013 at 6:51 comment added Communicative Algebra @JimHumphreys: Thanks for helping me trace my roots! I don't like being discredited as a “mistake”, though. Eisenbud has dedicated a whole monograph to me, available exclusively from the University Library of Wuppertal (see this larger version of my profile picture.) And in any case, I mathoverflow, so I am.

Aug 8, 2013 at 22:44 comment added Jim Humphreys @CA: I'm not sure offhand what is written down explicitly in books or such, but I guess the argument for simplicity is the same as for abstract groups. But people don't always need the general case, so for instance Serre's Part I on finite group representations over $\mathbb{C}$ just gives an ad hoc proof using the group algebra and complete reducibility. (P.S. The term "Communicative Algebra" actually appears prominently by mistake in a French chapter of the Bourbaki series on commutative algebra.)

Aug 7, 2013 at 7:39 comment added Communicative Algebra For the time being, I've included my own argument as Proposition 4.1 in arXiv:1308.0796.
Jul 27, 2013 at 14:15 comment added Communicative Algebra Thanks. I had actually seen that post. The discussion there is related to the fact that $V_1\otimes V_2$ indeed is a $G_1\times G_2$-representation, but there is no assertion of simplicity etc.
