Finite singular orbit modules for algebraic groups

From MaRDI portal




Abstract: Building on the classification of modules for algebraic groups with finitely many orbits on subspaces, we determine all faithful irreducible modules for simple and maximal-semisimple connected algebraic groups that are orthogonal and have finitely many orbits on singular 1-spaces. This question is naturally connected with the problem of finding for which pairs of subgroups H,K of an algebraic group G there are finitely many (H,K)-double cosets. This paper provides a solution to the question when K is a maximal parabolic subgroup P1 of a classical group SOn. We find an interesting range of new examples ranging from a 5-dimensional module for SL2 to the spin module for B6 in characteristic 2.
