In this thesis Springer studied the classification of conjugacy classes in the symplectic group $Sp_n(K)$, where the commutative field $K$ is of characteristic different from 2. He finds that each conjugacy class is characterized by a system of invariants. These invariants are first of all -- as in the case of the general linear group -- irreducible polynomials and systems of non-negative integers, but secondly also equivalence classes of certain Hermitian forms and of certain quadratic forms. Original Dutch title: Over symplectische transformaties.

Assume given an involution 8 of G, i.e. an automorphism (in the sense of algebraic groups) of order 2. Denote by K the fixed point group of 8 and by B a Borel subgroup.Then K haE finitely many orbits in the flag manifold GJB (first proved for F=C in [6]).The geometry of these orbits is of importance in the study of Harish-Chandra modules, as is shown by the results of [11].In the present paper we shall establish a number of basic elementary facts about these orbits or, equivalently, the double cosets BxK.After assembling a number of known results in n° 2, we discuss in n° 3 twisted involutions in Weyl groups.These are needed for the description of double cosets given in n° 4. That section also contains a fairly explicit description of the double cosets as algebraic varieties.N° 5 deals with the open double coset and with those of codimension one.As an application we deduce a result (5.6) about K-fixed vectors in G-modules, which is well-known in characteristic 0 ([4], [12]).Finally, n° 6 contains some information about orbit closures.Similar results have recently been found by Matsuki for F=C [7].The results about double cosets BxK established here bear some refemblance to the familiar results about the Bruhat decomposition into double cosets BxB, but are somewhat more complicated.§ 2. Notations and recollections 2.1.In the sequel, F denotes an algebraically closed field of characteristic not 2. Let G be a linear algebraic group over F, provided with an automorphism e of order 2. Denote by g the Lie algebra of G.The automorphism of g induced by e will also be denoted bye.We shall mainly be interested in the case that G is connected and reductive, but we do not yet assume this.

This paper describes the construction of the quartic form if the characteristic is ≠ 2, 3, taking into account a field of definition F . Certain F -forms of E 7 appear in the automorphism groups of quartic forms over F , as well as forms of E 6 . Many of the results of the paper are known, but are perhaps not easily accessible in the literature.

In an earlier … Abstract Let G be a finite group generated by (pseudo-) reflections in a complex vector space and let g be any linear transformation which normalises G . In an earlier paper, the authors showed how to associate with any maximal eigenspace of an element of the coset gG , a subquotient of G which acts as a reflection group on the eigenspace. In this work, we address the questions of irreducibility and the coexponents of this subquotient, as well as centralisers in G of certain elements of the coset. A criterion is also given in terms of the invariant degrees of G for an integer to be regular for G . A key tool is the investigation of extensions of invariant vector fields on the eigenspace, which leads to some results and questions concerning the geometry of intersections of invariant hypersurfaces.

In this paper we show how to calculate the irreducible characters of the group GL(n, q) of all nonsingular matrices of degree n with coefficients in the finite field of q elements. These characters have been given for n = 2 by H. Jordan [8], Schur [10], and others, and for n =3 and n =4 by Steinberg [12], who has also [13] done important work in the general case. We are concerned here with characters, that is, characters of representations by matrices with complex coefficients. Let Xi, * * *, XA be the distinct absolutely irreducible ordinary characters of a group 5 of order g. By a of 6 (often called a generalised character or difference character) we mean a class-function 4 on 5 of the form

These algebras are mainly quaternion algebras and Cayley algebras. The problem of determining the quadratic forms which permit composition (Huryitz's problem) has been treated by many authors (2). In spite of this, there does not appear in any one place a complete solution of this problem in its most general form — which amounts to the determination of the algebras for an arbitrary field and not just to the determination of the possible dimensionalities. We give such a solution here for the case of characteristic not two. Aside from its intrinsic interest and applications to other fields (for example Jordan algebras, absolute valued algebras) we have still another reason for treating the Hurvitz problem again, namely: The analysis of the composition algebras is essential for our study of their automorphisms.
In this paper we shall be concerned only with finite dimensional algebras over an arbitrary field $$ \mathfrak{F} $$ of characteristic not two.

Let $$ \mathfrak{A} $$ be an associative algebra over $$ \mathfrak{F} $$ and ab the associative product composition of $$ \mathfrak{A} $$ . Then the vector space $$ \mathfrak{A} $$ is a Jordan algebra $$ {\mathfrak{A}^{\left( + \right)}} $$ relative to the composition a·b = 1/2(ab + ba), that is, this composition satisfies the defining identities (1) $$ a \cdot b = b \cdot a,\,\left[ {\left( {a \cdot a} \right) \cdot } \right] \cdot a = \left( {a \cdot a} \right) \cdot \left( {b \cdot a} \right) $$ The algebra $$ {\mathfrak{A}^{\left( + \right)}} $$ and its subalgebras are called special Jordan algebras.

The problem of proving that … Let G be a semi-simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field, k. Let G act rationally by automorphisms on the finitely generated k-algebra, R. The problem of proving that the ring of invariants, RG, is finitely generated originates with the invariant theorists of the nineteenth century. When k = C, the complex numbers, and G GL (n, C) the question is answered affirmatively by Hilbert's fundamental theorem of invariant theory. The proof involved constructing a G equivariant projection from R to RG and then using it to prove the result algebraically. When k is of characteristic 0 and G is any semi-simple group, by a theorem of H. Weyl, every finite dimensional representation of G is completely reducible. In the 1950's D. Mumford and others (Cartier, Iwahori, Nagata) applied Weyl's theorem to construct a projection from R to RG for any semi-simple group. This made it possible to generalize Hilbert's proof to an arbitrary semi-simple group. Certain geometric applications, particularly to the theory of moduli, made a generalization to groups over fields of positive characteristic highly desirable. In positive characteristic, complete reducibility definitely fails. Hence attempts were made to replace complete reducibility with a weaker condition which would at once hold for all semi-simple groups and make a proof of finite generation of RG possible. The weakest way to state complete reducibility is the following. If V is a finite dimensional G-module containing a G-stable sub-space of co-dimension one, VT, then there is a G-stable line LC V such that V0 E L = V. Mumford conjectured a weaker version of this statement by seeking a complement only in a higher symmetric power of V, SI( V). This is the conjecture as it is stated in the preface to [16]:

Leaving aside the late research by many people on the Albanese and Picard variety, it has received much substance and impetus from the work of Severi on commutative algebraic groups over the complex number field, that of Kolchin, Chevalley, and Borel on algebraic groups of matrices, and especially Weil's research on abelian varieties and algebraic transformation spaces. The main purpose of the present paper is to give a more or less systematic account of a large part of what is now known about general algebraic groups, which may be abelian varieties, algebraic groups of matrices, or actually of neither of these types.
