Jan 19, 2019 at 21:09 | comment | added | LSpice | In general, I think you're out of luck. (However, perhaps one could handle the case where $U$ is the unipotent radical of a parabolic, and hence filtered by $\mathfrak{gl}_1$'s, and that such groups have no smooth, finite subgroups?) It may be of interest to know Proposition 14.22(a) of Borel, which states that the intersection of two parabolics is connected; that seems close to your situation. | |
