Complete reducibility and commuting subgroups

Complete reducibility and commuting subgroups Let G be a reductive linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≧ 0. We study J.-P. Serre's notion of G -complete reducibility for subgroups of G . Specifically, for a subgroup H and a normal subgroup N of H , we look at the relationship between G -complete reducibility of N and of H , and show that these properties are equivalent if H/N is linearly reductive, generalizing a result of Serre. We also study the case when H = MN with M a G -completely reducible subgroup of G which normalizes N . In our principal result we show that if G is connected, N and M are connected commuting G -completely reducible subgroups of G , and p is good for G , then H = MN is also G -completely reducible. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik (Crelle's Journal) de Gruyter

Abstract

Let G be a reductive linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≧ 0. We study J.-P. Serre's notion of G -complete reducibility for subgroups of G . Specifically, for a subgroup H and a normal subgroup N of H , we look at the relationship between G -complete reducibility of N and of H , and show that these properties are equivalent if H/N is linearly reductive, generalizing a result of Serre. We also study the case when H = MN with M a G -completely reducible subgroup of G which normalizes N . In our principal result we show that if G is connected, N and M are connected commuting G -completely reducible subgroups of G , and p is good for G , then H = MN is also G -completely reducible.
