Atlas.TensorCategories.code.ReductiveGroup

Combinatorial data abstracting a reductive group G acting on a representation V, together with a unipotent subgroup U, an indexing I of irreducible subrepresentations W i, and bookkeeping axioms: faithfulness of U, irreducibility of each W i, complete reducibility of V, the existence of unipotent fixed points in any nonzero subrepresentation, and the existence of the fixed-point subspace under U of any subrepresentation.

Instances For
    theorem ReductiveGroupData.u_acts_trivially_on_summand (D : ReductiveGroupData) (i : D.I) (w : D.V) :
    D.mem_sub (D.W i) w∀ (u : D.U), D.act (D.u_incl u) w = w

    The unipotent subgroup U acts trivially on each irreducible summand W i: combining irreducibility with the existence of a unipotent fixed point forces U to fix every element of W i.

    theorem ReductiveGroupData.u_acts_trivially (D : ReductiveGroupData) (v : D.V) (u : D.U) :
    D.act (D.u_incl u) v = v

    The unipotent subgroup U acts trivially on all of V, by complete reducibility together with triviality on each summand.

    The unipotent subgroup is trivial: every element of U equals the identity.

    Lemma 1.30.2 (Etingof–Gelaki–Nikshych–Ostrik): A reductive group acting on a completely reducible faithful representation has trivial unipotent radical.
