Root systems of maximally noncomact Cartan subalgebras

Let $G$ be a real reductive Lie group, and $K$ a maximal compact subgroup in $G$. Write $\mathfrak{g}$ for the Lie algebra of $G$, and $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{k}+\mathfrak{p}$ for the Cartan ...

Is the connected centralizer of a semisimple element in a connected reductive group also a centralizer?

Let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field and let $g\in G$ be semisimple. Write $C=\mathrm{C}_G(g)$ and $C^\circ=\mathrm{C}_G(g)^\circ$ for the ...

Conjugation of faces in root systems / of parabolic subgroups having same Levi in split reductive groups

If $(V,\Phi)$ is a root system of rank $n$, one knows that its Weyl group $W$ acts simply and transitively on Weyl chambers. But in general, if $d\lt n$, the action of $W$ on faces of dimension $d$ is ...
