Let G be a semisimple group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0. We give a (partly conjectural) simple, closed formula for the character of many indecomposable tilting rational G-modules, assuming that p is large.

Let G be a connected reductive group over an algebraically closed field. We define a decomposition of G into finitely many strata such that each stratum is a union of conjugacy classes of fixed dimension; the strata are indexed by a set…

We show that a connected split reductive group G over a field of characteristic 0 is uniquely determined up to isomorphism by specifying a maximal torus T of G, the set of isomorphism classes of irreducible representations of G, and the…

Let $H \subseteq G$ be connected reductive linear algebraic groups defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p> 0$. In our first main theorem we show that if a closed subgroup $K$ of $H$ is $H$-completely reducible, then…

Let $p$ be a prime number and $\Bbbk=\bar{\mathbb{F}}_p$, the algebraic closure of the finite field $\mathbb{F}_p$ of $p$ elements. Let ${\bf G}$ be a connected reductive group defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and ${\bf B}$ be a Borel subgroup…

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman…

We complete the description of semistable models for modular curves associated with maximal subgroups of $\mathrm{GL}_2 ({\mathbb F}_p )$ (for $p$ any prime, $p>5$). That is, in the new cases of non-split Cartan modular curves and…

We generalize two of our previous results on abelian definable groups in $p$-adically closed fields to the non-abelian case. First, we show that if $G$ is a definable group that is not definably compact, then $G$ has a one-dimensional…
