Levi decompositions of a linear algebraic group. (Q626575): Difference between revisions

If \(G\) is a connected linear algebraic group over the field \(k\), a Levi factor of \(G\) is a reductive complement to the unipotent radical of \(G\). If \(k\) has positive characteristic, \(G\) may have no Levi factor or \(G\) may have Levi factors which are not geometrically conjugated. Some sufficient conditions for the existence and conjugacy of the Levi factors of \(G\) are given.
