In this article, we show that if $KG$ is Lie nilpotent group algebra of a group $G$ over a field $K$ of characteristic $p>0$, then $t_{L}(KG)=k$ if and only if $t^{L}(KG)=k$, for $k\in\{5p-3, 6p-4\}$, where $t_{L}(KG)$ and $t^{L}(KG)$ are…

In \cite{indice}, we show the following result, conjectured by D. Panyushev \cite{Panyushev}, for $\g$ a semisimple Lie algebra: {\rm ind} \n(\g^{e}) = {\rm rk} \g-\dim \z(\g^{e}, where $\n(\g^{e})$ and $\z(\g^{e})$ are, respectively, the…

Let $k$ be a nonperfect separably closed field. Let $G$ be a (possibly non-connected) reductive group defined over $k$. We study rationality problems for Serre's notion of complete reducibility of subgroups of $G$. In our previous work, we…

Let G be a reductive connected group over the algebraic closure of a finite field. In this paper we give the classification of character sheaves on G in categorical terms (as a categorical centre). Previously such a classification was known…

For a natural number $m$, a Lie algebra $L$ over a field $k$ is said to be of breadth type $(0, m)$ if the co-dimension of the centralizer of every non-central element is of dimension $m$. In this article, we classify finite dimensional…
