Characteristic polynomials of Cartan matrices of Lie algebras

Let $L$ be a simple Lie algebra over $\mathbb{C}$ with Cartan matrix $C_L$ (as in https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartan-Matrix ) Question 1: Is is true that the characteristic polynomial $f$ of $C_L$ ...

Subgroups that conjugate-cover the ambient group

Let $G$ be a finite group, and suppose that a set of proper subgroups $H_1,\dotsc,H_n$ satisfy $G=\bigcup_{g\in G}\bigcup_{i=1}^nH_i^g$, where $H_i^g$ is the conjugate of $H_i$ by $g$. In this case, ...

Galois descent for profinite groups acting on local fields

Suppose that $G$ is a profinite group acting faithfully on a field $L$ and assume moreover that the action is admissible, that is, that every $l \in L$ is stabilized by an open subgroup of $G$. If ...

Semisimplicity of induced representation of a irreducible representation

This question occurs when I read this one. Suppose $k$ is a field of char $0$ (not necessarily complex numbers, in my case it's $\mathbb Q_p$), and $G$ is a profinite group (in my case, $\operatorname{...

Fontaine - Wintenberger field of norms and imperfect case

Let $K$ be a complete discrete valued field whose residue field $k_K$ has characteristic $p$ and has the property that $[k_K:k_K^p]=p^d$ for some $d$. Let $t_{\alpha}, 1 \leq \alpha \leq d$ be a set ...

Local polynomials of Frobenius-semisimple Weil representations which are tensor products of an Artin representation and an unramified character

Let $K$ be a local field and $\rho: W_K \to \operatorname{GL}(V)$ be a Weil representation. The for any finite extension $F/K$, we define the local polynomial $$ P(\rho|_F,T) = \det{(1 - \operatorname{...

Weyl theorem for non specified primitive root of unity

Let $\omega=e^{2i \pi/p}$. Weyl theorems give all representations of matrix algebra span by $A,B$ such that either $AB=\omega BA, A^p=B^p=I$, or $(k,l)\mapsto A^kB^l$ is a irreducible ...

Local factors determine Weil representations - proof of the Artin representation case

This post can be seen as a continuation of this post I created on MathOverflow. I want to understand the proof of the following Theorem from "Euler Factors determine Weil Representations" by Tim and ...
