Tori and idempotents in reduced enveloping algebras of a solvable Lie \(p\)-algebra (Q1375970): Difference between revisions

Throughout the paper \(L\) denotes a finite-dimensional solvable Lie \(p\)-algebra over an algebraically closed field \(F\) of characteristic \(p>2\). The aim of this paper is to study the structure of the reduced enveloping algebras associated with \(L\) by means of tori and idempotents. A step in this direction can be found in [\textit{J. Schue}, Algebras Groups Geom. 3, 128-147 (1986; Zbl 0611.17004)] where the emphasis is on determining primitive idempotents for the restricted enveloping algebra. The results here are more complete and are applicable to any of the reduced enveloping algebras. The author gets the structure theorem for \(L\) strongly solvable, the local structure theorem for \(L\) solvable and the global structure theorem, which are obtained regarding the nature of the radical, the simple components for a Wedderburn-Malcev decomposition, and the construction of a maximal torus. All of the results are constructive and make essential use of the solvability of \(L\). As an application, the author gives a new construction for the irreducible representations. There is also a discussion indicating a method for obtaining information about the central idempotents and block structure for the reduced algebras, which would extend to a general solvable \(L\) some results for strongly solvable or supersolvable \(L\).
