First, I construct an isomorphism between the categories of (topological) groups of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center and (topological) Lie rings of nilpotency class 2 with 2-divisible center. That isomorphism allows us to…

Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group scheme defined over $\mathbb{F}_p$ and let $G_1$ denote the Frobenius kernel of $G$. To each finite-dimensional $G$-module $M$, one can define the support variety $V_{G_1}(M)$, which can be regarded as…

Let $F$ be a non-Archimedean local field and let $\mathcal{O}_{F}$ be its ring of integers. The orbit of an irreducible representation $\rho$ of $\mathrm{GL}_n(\mathcal{O}_F)$ is a conjugacy class in $\mathfrak{gl}_n(\mathcal{O}_F)$…

Let G be an n-dimensional semisimple compact and connected Lie group acting on both the Lie algebra g of G and its dual g*. We show that a nondegenerate Killing form of G induces an Ad*-equivariant isomorphism of g onto g* which, in turn,…

Let $\g$ be simple Lie algebra. We give a conceptual proof for the fact that the nilpotent orbits of height 3 are spherical. It is shown that if the highest root of $\g$ is fundamental, then $\g$ has a specific nilpotent orbit of height 3.…
