Representations of Hopf algebras arising from Lie algebras of Cartan type (Q1355598)

The paper under review continues the study of representations of special Hopf algebras related to the restricted Lie algebras of Cartan type started by \textit{Z. Lin} and \textit{D. K. Nakano} [J. Algebra 19, 852-888 (1996; Zbl 0862.17015)]. Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a restricted Lie algebra of Cartan type over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\), \(G\) be the group of automorphisms of the algebra \(\mathfrak {g}\), \(u(\mathfrak {g})\) be the restricted universal enveloping algebra, and \(D(G)\) be the distribution algebra of \(G\). Earlier, the authors constructed the Hopf algebra \(D(G)u(\mathfrak {g})\) generated as an associative algebra by \(D(G)\) and \(u(\mathfrak {g})\) that can be considered as an analogue of the distribution algebra of a reductive algebraic group. This algebra contains the Hopf subalgebras \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\) where \(D(G_r)\) is the distribution algebra of the kernel of the \(r\)th iteration of the Frobenius map. In this paper the classification of simple \(D(G)u(\mathfrak {g})\)- and \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\)-modules is given. It is shown that these modules are twisted tensor products of simple \(u(\mathfrak {g})\)- and \(G_0\)-modules, where \(G_0\) is the maximal reductive subgroup in \(G\). Further the connection (for sufficiently large \(p\)) between injective \(u(\mathfrak {g})\)-modules and injective \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\)-modules is established. The block theory for \(u(\mathfrak {g})\) is generalized for the algebras \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\); in particular, it is shown that the algebra \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\) has one block. The methods for computing Cartan invariants for \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\) and extensions between simple \(D(G_r)u(\mathfrak {g})\)-modules are suggested. Along with this the theory of \(D(G_rT)u(\mathfrak {g})\)-modules where \(T\) is a maximal torus in \(G\) is considered.
