Abstract

Let GG be a reductive algebraic group scheme defined over Fp{\mathbb F}_{p} and kk be an algebraically closed field of characteristic pp. There are two associated families of finite group schemes, the rr-th Frobenius kernels, denoted by GrG_r, and the fixed points of the iterated Frobenius map, the finite groups of Lie type, denoted by G(Fq).G(\mathbb{F}_q). Bendel, Nakano and Pillen initiated the investigation of the induction functor indG(Fq)G\operatorname{ind}_{G(\mathbb{F}_q)}^G-. Using filtrations and truncation, large amounts of data coming from the algebraic group and the Frobenius kernels can be transferred to the finite group. This paper looks at connections between a fundamental theorem of Chastkofsky and Jantzen and the induction functor via the cohomology and representation theory of GG.
