$N_{G}(E)/C_{G}(E)$ is the Weyl group of $G$?

In the algebraic group $G = \operatorname{PGL}_4(\mathbb{C})$, let $E$ denote the subgroup of elements of order dividing 2 in the diagonal maximal torus; it is generated by the images of the three ...

Possible questions about the Tate-Shafarevich subgroup of a Galois hypercohomology group?

$\newcommand{\wt}{\widetilde}$ Let $n=1,2$. There are infinite torsion abelian groups $H^1$, $H^2$ killed by some natural number $m$. There are finite subgroups $$ {\rm Sha}^1 \subset H^1,\quad ...

normalizer quotient is $\operatorname{GL}_2(p)$

Let $p$ be a prime and let $w$ be a primitive $p$-th root of unity in $\mathbb{C}$. There is an element $e$ of order $p$ in $G=\operatorname{PGL}_n(\mathbb{C})$ where $n=pk$ and $$e=\left[\left(\begin{...

elementary abelian subgroups with centralizers not connected

Let $G =$ PGL$_{8}(\textbf{C})$. Let $a, b, c, d$ be four representatives of conjugacy classes of involutions in $G$ where $$a = \begin{pmatrix} -1 & 0\\ 0 & I_{7} \end{pmatrix}, b = \begin{...
