Background: Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ and let $I \subseteq k[G]$ be the ideal of the identity element. The hyperalgebra $U(G)$ of $G$ is defined to be …

If you're interested in the theory of linear algebraic groups, Linear Algebraic Groups by Humphreys is a great book. The other two standard references are the books (with the same name) by Springer an …

Setup Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic with Borel subgroup $B$. Let $\Lambda$ denote the weight lattice of $G$; we write elements …

(I apologize in advance for the vagueness of my question). Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over $\mathbb C$ with Lie algebra $\frak g$ and Borel $B$. I have seen casual references to the fact t …

I'm sure that there are a number of ways of answering this in the affine case; here's one. Let's assume $G$ affine and let's say that $k$ is our algebraically closed field. The following argument may …

Let's fix an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic and a connected nonsingular affine algebraic $k$-group $G$. Under what conditions can I assume that a connected nonsingular affi …

NOTE: I am very much not an expert on affine Kac-Moody groups or ind-varieties, so the following may be vague. The first question is: Has anyone developed a theory of Frobenius splitting for ind-vari …

Let $k$ be an algebraically closed field and let $G$ be a reductive linear algebraic group over $k$ with Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. If the characteristic of $k$ is $0$ then, by a classical result of K …

Setup Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over a field $k$ of characteristic $p$ where $p = 0$ or $p > 0$ is a good prime for $G$. Fix a Borel subgroup $B \subseteq G$ corresponding to the positi …

Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of arbitrary characteristic. (I'm most interested in the positive characteristic case). Let $B \subseteq G$ be a Borel subgro …

BACKGROUND Let $X$ be a variety over an algebraically closed field $k$ of positive characteristic $p$. Let $F : X \to X$ denote the absolute Frobenius morphism, i.e. the morphism that is the identity …

Background Let $G$ be a semisimple linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic. Let $B \subseteq G$ be a Borel subgroup of $G$ and let $U \subseteq B$ be …

Let $G$ be an algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of arbitrary characteristic and let $U$ be the hyperalgebra of $G$. Recall that $U$ is defined as the subspace of the full linear d …

Background Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field $k$ of characteristic 0. Let $B \subseteq G$ be a Borel subgroup and let $U \subseteq B$ be its unipotent radical …

Let $U_q$ be the quantized enveloping algebra associated to a semisimple Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$. It is a result due to Tanisaki (see here; also see Chapter 6 of Jantzen's book Lectures on Quantum G …
