Can every parabolic subgroup be conjugated to its opposite by an element of the Weyl group?

If I understood your question correct, then the answer is no. I will assume for simplicity that you are talking about parabolic subgroups of complex simple Lie groups. Then your question translates to …

Complex Lie group without faithful real representations?

Does there exist a complex analytic Lie group which doesn't have faithful representations in $GL(N,\mathbb R)$, viewed as a real Lie group? There are examples of complex Lie groups which do not allow …

Is every finite-dimensional Lie algebra the Lie algebra of a closed linear Lie group?

This question is closely related to this one. Ado's theorem states that given a finite-dimensional Lie algebra $\mathfrak g$, there exists a faithful representation $\rho\colon\mathfrak g \to \mathfr …

explicit linear representations of fundamental groups of surfaces

I am looking for an explicit representation of the fundamental group of a closed orientable surface of genus >1. I guess they should be abundant in degree 2. Did anyone see the explicit matrix constru …
