Hyperplane sections of principal homogeneous spaces

Let $P_i$ denote the $i$-th vertex in the Dynkin diagramm of an algebraic group. It symbolizes a parabolic subgroup of $G$ corresponding to the other vertices, meaning $G/P_i$ is a smooth, projective, ...

Quadrics contained in the (complex) Cayley plane

In the paper Ilev, Manivel - The Chow ring of the Cayley plane we can learn, that $CH^8(X)$, with $X := E_6/P_1$, denoting the Cayley plane, has three generators with one of them being the class of ...

Norm variety for n=5, p=2 not isomorphic to a quadric

In the paper "Motivic construction of cohomological invariants", the author displays a list of known norm varieties for several $n,p$ on page $11$. For $p=2, n=5$ it says that a norm variety is given ...

Simplicial resolution for commutative group scheme

Let $X$ be a quasi-projective $k$-variety. In this case the symmetric power $S^d(X)$ is well-defined. If $S^\bullet(X)=\bigsqcup_{n>0}S^d(X)$, where we suppose $S^0(X)=\operatorname{spec}(k)$, then ...

Are Generalized Involution Varieties hyperlane sections of Generalized Severi Brauer Varieties?

Let $A$ be a central, simple algebra of degree $2n$ with orthogonal involution $\sigma$. Let SB$(A)$ the Severi-Brauer variety, which is the variety of left ideals of reduced dimension one in $A$. ...

The splitting pattern of the Killing form of an algebraic group and the Tits index

Let us assume that $G$ is an anisotropic semisimple, connected algebraic group over a field $k$ of characteristic zero. Let $K_G$ denote the class of its Killing form in the Witt ring of $k$. Let $X$ ...
