On the image of a word map with constants of a simple algebraic group (Q2202686): Difference between revisions

Let \(G\) be an algebraic group, \(\tilde w: G^n \rightarrow {G}\) a word map with constants, let \(T\) be a fixed maximal torus of \(G\), let \(W\) be the Weil group of \(G\), and let \(\pi: G \rightarrow T/W\) be the factor morphism. The main results that the authors establish is that for the adjoint group of \(G\) of type \(A_r, D_r\), or \(E_r\), the map \(\pi\circ{\tilde{w}}\) is a constant map only for the words \(vgv^{-1}\), where \(g \in G\) and \(v\) is a word with constants.
