- ItemCocharacter-Closure and the Rational Hilbert-Mumford Theorem(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014) Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, GerhardFor a field k, let G be a reductive k-group and V an affine k-variety on which G acts. Using the notion of cocharacter-closed G(k)-orbits in V , we prove a rational version of the celebrated Hilbert-Mumford Theorem from geometric invariant theory. We initiate a study of applications stemming from this rationality tool. A number of examples are discussed to illustrate the concept of cocharacter-closure and to highlight how it differs from the usual Zariski-closure.
- ItemG-complete reducibility in non-connected groups(Oberwolfach : Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013) Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, GerhardIn this paper we present an algorithm for determining whether a subgroup H of a non-connected reductive group G is G-completely reducible. The algorithm consists of a series of reductions; at each step, we perform operations involving connected groups, such as checking whether a certain subgroup of G0 is G0-cr. This essentially reduces the problem of determining G-complete reducibility to the connected case.
