Abstract

Let GG be a simple simply connected algebraic group scheme defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0p > 0. Let TT be a maximal split torus in GG, BTB \supset T be a Borel subgroup of GG and UU its unipotent radical. Let F:GGF: G \rightarrow G be the Frobenius morphism. For r1r \geq 1 define the Frobenius kernel, GrG_r, to be the kernel of FF iterated with itself rr times. Define UrU_r (respectively BrB_r) to be the kernel of the Frobenius map restricted to UU (respectively BB). Let X(T)X(T) be the integral weight lattice and X(T)+X(T)_+ be the dominant integral weights. The computations of particular importance are \h2(U1,k)\h^2(U_1,k), \h2(Br,\la)\h^2(B_r,\la) for \laX(T)\la \in X(T), \h2(Gr,H0(\la))\h^2(G_r,H^0(\la)) for \laX(T)+\la \in X(T)_+, and \h2(B,\la)\h^2(B,\la) for \laX(T)\la \in X(T). The above cohomology groups for the case when the field has characteristic 2 one computed in this paper. These computations complete the picture started by Bendel, Nakano, and Pillen for p3p \geq 3 \cite{BNP2}.
