Isomorphisms $S^d(S^m(V)^*) \cong \Lambda^d(S^{m+d-1}(V)^*)$
$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Let $K$ be an algebraically closed field. Let $V$ be a 2-dimensional vector space over $K$. The group $G=\SL_2(K)$ acts naturally on $V$ by left-multiplication on column ...

Conjugacy of cocharacters from conjugacy of labelled diagrams
Everything to follow is over some fixed algebraically closed field $k$. Although all the definitions make sense regardless of characteristic, the meat of the question is about small positive ...

Explicit description of wonderful compactification for PGL_3
Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field of positive characteristics. Let $X$ be the wonderful compactification of $PGL_3$ (see for example section 6 of "Frobenius Splitting Methods in Geometry ...

Finite, normal subgroups of reductive groups in positive characteristic
Consider the following statement about a connected, reductive group $G$ over a field $k$:
Every finite, normal subgroup $N$ of $G$ is central.
In characteristic $0$, this is true, and the proof is ...

Can non-geometrically reduced reduced subschemes happen for reductive groups?
The title is meant to be punchy, but also a tongue-in-cheek acknowledgement of the prevalence of ‘reduce’-derived words in this area. (Unfortunately, I overlooked the fact that the question in the ...

Showing subgroups with equal Lie algebras are equal
Let $k$ be a field. It might as well be algebraically closed, but I do not want to assume that it has characteristic $0$. I will write "group" for "affine group scheme over $k$", ...

Are all stabilizer groups of the co-adjoint action smooth?
Let $k$ be a (non-archimedean) local field of positive characteristic $p$ and $\mathfrak{n}$ be any finite-dimensional nilpotent Lie algebra over $k$ with nilpotence length $l<p$. It is well-known ...

Unitary dual of the Heisenberg group over non-archimedean local fields of characteristic two
What is the unitary dual of the Heisenberg group over non-archimedean local fields k of characteristic two? This is well-known for the real Heisenberg group and in fact, when local fields have ...
