Solvability and nilpotency for algebraic supergroups

Algebraic Geometry 2016-01-28 v3 Representation Theory

Abstract

We study solvability, nilpotency and splitting property for algebraic supergroups over an arbitrary field KK of characteristic charK2\mathrm{char}\, K \ne 2. Our first main theorem tells us that an algebraic supergroup G\mathbb{G} is solvable if the associated algebraic group Gev\mathbb{G}_{ev} is trigonalizable. To prove it we determine the algebraic supergroups G\mathbb{G} such that dimLie(G)1=1\dim \mathrm{Lie}(\mathbb{G})_1=1; their representations are studied when Gev\mathbb{G}_{ev} is diagonalizable. The second main theorem characterizes nilpotent connected algebraic supergroups. A super-analogue of the Chevalley Decomposition Theorem is proved, though it must be in a weak form. An appendix is given to characterize smooth Noetherian superalgebras as well as smooth Hopf superalgebras.
