Is Lusztig's conjecture solved?

The result of that book is that the conjecture is true for sufficiently large, but unspecified characteristic. (First fix a Dynkin type.) More recently Peter Fiebig has given actual bounds. See An up …

Invariants of matrices (by simultaneous $\mathrm{GL}_n$ conjugation) over arbitrary rings

It is true. The standard reference is the Book by Jantzen, Representations of Algebraic Groups, Second edition. In particular we need the Appendix `Chapter B', and the base change Proposition in part …

Question about the representation theory of SL(n,Z)

Consider the surjective map of $SL(n,\Bbb Z)$-modules $Hom_{\Bbb C}(V',V)\to Hom_{\Bbb C}(V',V')$. Tim tells us that the identity map from $V'$ to $V'$ lifts to an $f:V'\to V$ which is invariant under …

Proper subgroup of GL(n,Z) isomorphic to GL(n,Z)?

For $G=GL(2,\mathbb Z)$ there is no proper subgroup isomorphic to it. Consider the dihedral group $D$ of isometries of a regular 6-gon. There is only one conjugacy class in $G$ of subgroups isomorphic …

How to think about parabolic induction.

Let me contribute some confusion. In the situation I am familiar with (algebraic groups), one may first restrict to a Borel subgroup $B$ with the property that $B\cap L$ is a Borel subgroup of $L$. Re …

Global homological dimension of reductive groups

In positive characteristic the only connected groups of finite homological dimension are the tori. We need the following result from Jantzen, Representations of algebraic groups. [J, I 5.13], [J, I …

Can the 'linkages' between equivalent extensions of modules of an algebraic group be taken t...

The linkage bound is 2. If the algebraic group is simple, say over an algebraically closed $k$, then one has the following lemma. Lemma. If $V$, $W$ are finite dimensional, there is an $m$ dependin …

Tilting modules in positive characteristic

For the algebraic group $\mathrm{SL}(n)$ over a field of characteristic $p>0$ the (indecomposable) tilting modules are the indecomposable direct summands of tensor products of tensor powers of the fun …

Are the Weyl modules projectives?

There is actually a mildly interesting category in which a given Weyl module is projective. The simplest Weyl module is one dimensional with trivial action. So in that case the category has to have tr …

Maps between symmetric powers of the natural module for $SL_2 (k)$ in prime characteristic

Let me summarize. We take a basis $x$, $y$ of $E$ and the characteristic is $p$. There are two cases where there is a surjective map $E\otimes S^r(E)\to S^{r-1}E$. The first case is when $r=p-1$. The …

A ring of invariants in characteristic 2

Indeed the "symmetrized square-free monomials" seem to generate. (Order lexicographically and look what the highest term in a product looks like. Now use that to concoct rewriting rules.) [Oops! T …
