On the exponent of geometric unipotent radicals of pseudo-reductive groups

Abstract: Let

k^{'} / k

be a finite purely inseparable field extension and let

G^{'}

be a reductive

k^{'}

-group. We denote by

G = R_{k^{'} / k} (G^{'})

the Weil restriction of

G^{'}

across

k^{'} / k

, a pseudo-reductive group. This article gives bounds for the exponent of the geometric unipotent radical

in terms of invariants of the extension

k^{'} / k

, starting with the case

G^{'} = G L_{n}

and applying these results to the case where

G^{'}

is a simple group.
