Simply connected simple algebraic groups
If $G$ is an adjoint algebraic group then it is always simple as an abstract group, (EDIT: This is because any proper normal subgroup of a simple algebraic group must be finite and lie in the centre). …

When the longest element of Weyl group is rational?
Let $B$ be a Borel subgroup containing $T$. As $F(B)$ and $B$ are both Borel subgroups containing $T$ there exists an element $n \in N_G(T)$ such that ${}^nF(B) = B$. Thus the Frobenius endomorphism $ …

The defining characteristic representations of Lie type groups
This result is false for a general connected reductive algebraic group $\mathbf{G}$ but is true if $\mathbf{G}$ is simple and simply connected. This was proved by Steinberg in Theorem 1.3 of the follo …

Weyl group invariants in a maximal torus
Let us first assume that $G$ is a simple adjoint group and fix a maximal torus $T \leqslant G$. Let $W = N_G(T)/T$ be the corresponding Weyl group. What you're asking is, for a semisimple element $s \ …

Simple groups of Lie type
I'll just make my comment an answer so as to close this question. By Theorem 24.17 of the book "Linear Algebraic Groups and Finite Groups of Lie Type" by Malle and Testerman we have the answer is yes …

Finite field analogue of representations in same packet have equal central character
This is quite an old question but I believe the answer to your question is given in Lemma 2.2 of Malle's paper "Height 0 characters of finite groups of Lie type" (2007) which is freely available onlin …

Centralizers of $\mathbb{F}_q$-rational semisimple elements of a finite group of Lie type
As @LSpice already pointed out, you need $q$ to be sufficiently large even in the case of a Levi subgroup. Just take $G = \operatorname{GL}_n(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_q)$ and $G^F = \operatorname{GL}_n(\ …

A bijection between Lusztig series induced by inflation
Your approach is correct and is proven in the book by Digne-Michel (in fact a more general statement is proven there). Indeed, by Proposition 13.22 in Digne-Michel we know that
$$R_{T\subseteq B}^G(\ …

Regular embeddings of reductive groups
I had cause to think about this exercise recently so I thought I’d write an answer. I think Jim’s answer is sufficient but as you seem to want more details I’ll provide them here. I am aware that you …

The centralizer of a semisimple element which is not contained in any proper parabolic subgr...
What you want is a specific part of something that fits into a wider framework due to Borel--Tits. Specifically, you're looking for Theorem 4.15 and Corollary 4.16 of "Groupes réductifs", Inst. Hautes …

Richardson Classes and the Bala Carter Theorem
I am interested in trying to understand the following problem. Let $G$ be a connected simple algebraic group of type $D_n$, (with $n\geqslant 4$ even), defined over an algebraically closed field of od …

Springer Isomorphisms for Adjoint Simple Exceptional Groups
I'm trying to understand explicitly a construction of Springer isomorphisms for adjoint exceptional groups given by Bardsley and Richardson. Their construction is as follows. Let $G$ be an adjoint sim …

Regular elements in the torus of a group of Lie type
This is an old question now but I had cause to look at it recently. I thought it was worthwhile pointing out that Carter's proof about the existence of nondegenerate maximal tori in Proposition 3.6.6 …

Examples of non-split algebraic groups
If you allow yourself to work over fields of positive characteristic then finite reductive groups give you a raft of examples for (1). Indeed, let $G$ be a connected reductive algebraic group over $\m …

Decomposing Semisimple Perverse Sheaves
So I asked this on maths SE because I don't truly consider it to be a research level question. This question mostly arises out of my completely limited understanding of perverse sheaves. However I do …
