We obtain tight bounds for the minimal number of generators of an ideal with bounded-degree generators in a polynomial ring $K[X_1,\dots,X_n],$ as well as a sharp quantification of the maximum possible size of a minimal generating set of…

In this paper, we study the reducibility of degenerate principal series of the simple, simply-connected exceptional group of type $E_6$. Furthermore, we calculate the maximal semi-simple subrepresentation and quotient of these…

We give an explicit characterization of all minimal value set polynomials in $\F_q[x]$ whose set of values is a subfield $\F_{q'}$ of $\F_{q}$. We show that the set of such polynomials, together with the constants of $\F_{q'}$, is an…

This article is the third in the series. It is devoted the calculation of the structure constants for the complex simple Lie algebra of type E_6 and Chevalley commutator formulas.

Let $kE$ denote the group algebra of an elementary abelian $p$-group of rank $r$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $p$. We investigate the functors $\mathcal{F}_i$ from $kE$-modules of constant Jordan type to vector…

We study the irreducible representations of simple algebraic groups in which some non-central semisimple element has at most one eigenvalue of multiplicity greater than 1. We bound the multiplicity of this eigenvalue in terms of the rank of…

The goal of this note is to classify the weakly closed unipotent subgroups in the split Chevalley groups. In an application we show under some mild assumptions on the characteristic that the Lie algebra of a connected simple algebraic group…

Consider a crystallographic root system together with its Weyl group $W$ acting on the weight lattice $M$. Let $Z[M]^W$ and $S^*(M)^W$ be the $W$-invariant subrings of the integral group ring $Z[M]$ and the symmetric algebra $S^*(M)$…

We obtain upper bounds, independent of the ambient dimension, for the number of realizable zero-nonzero patterns and (over ordered fields) sign conditions of a finite family of polynomials $\mathcal P$ restricted to an algebraic subset $V$…

For equivariant stable homotopy theory, equivariant KK-theory and equivariant derived categories, we show how restriction to a subgroup of finite index yields a finite commutative separable extension, analogous to finite \'etale extensions…

The computation of the cohomology for finite groups of Lie type in the describing characteristic is a challenging and difficult problem. In earlier work, the authors constructed an induction functor which takes modules over the finite group…

We prove an explicit inverse Chevalley formula in the equivariant $K$-theory of semi-infinite flag manifolds of simply-laced type. By an inverse Chevalley formula, we mean a formula for the product of an equivariant scalar with a Schubert…

Let L be the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group defined over a field F and let H be a split Cartan subalgebra of L. Then L has a Chevalley basis with respect to H. If the characteristic of F is not 2 or 3, it is known how to find it.…

Let $D_n$ be the dihedral group with $2n$ elements, and suppose $n$ is greater than one. We call ring system a finite $D_n$-symmetric set of points in $\mathbb{R}^2$. Ring systems have been used as models for planets surrounded by rings,…

Following a remark of Lawvere, we explicitly exhibit a particularly elementary bijection between the set T of finite binary trees and the set T^7 of seven-tuples of such trees. "Particularly elementary" means that the application of the…

Let G be an algebraic group and let X be a generically free G-variety. We show that X can be transformed, by a sequence of blowups with smooth G-equivariant centers, into a G-variety X' with the following property: the stabilizer of every…

Let G be a simple simple-connected exceptional algebraic group of type G_2, F_4, E_6 or E_7 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p>0 with \g=Lie(G). For each nilpotent orbit G.e of \g, we list the Jordan blocks of the…

Claude Chevalley provided a basis for a {finite dimensional} simple complex Lie algebra called the Chevalley basis. This basis has the distinguishing property that all the structure constants are integers. Chevalley groups, which are…

In this article, we propose a few sufficient conditions on polynomials having integer coefficients all of whose zeros lie outside a closed disc centered at the origin in the complex plane and deduce the irreducibility over the ring of…

Using a new approach based on Galois theory, we study subvarieties of complex representations of reductive groups which satisfy restriction properties on their invariant rings and function fields, along the lines of the Chevalley…
