Root data with group actions
Abstract
Suppose is a field, is a connected reductive algebraic -group, is a maximal -torus in , and is a finite group that acts on . From the above, one obtains a root datum on which acts. Provided that preserves a positive system in , not necessarily invariant under , we construct an inverse to this process. That is, given a root datum on which acts appropriately, we show how to construct a pair , on which acts as above. Although the pair and the action of are canonical only up to an equivalence relation, we construct a particular pair for which is -quasisplit and fixes a -stable pinning of . Using these choices, we can define a notion of taking "-fixed points" at the level of equivalence classes, and this process is compatible with a general "restriction" process for root data with -action.
