Prehomogeneous spaces for Borel subgroups of general linear groups.

Abstract: Let

k

be an algebraically closed field. Let

B

be the Borel subgroup of

m G L_{n} (k)

consisting of nonsingular upper triangular matrices. Let

f r b = m L i e B

be the Lie algebra of upper triangular

n i m e s n

matrices and

f r u

the Lie subalgebra of

f r b

consisting of strictly upper triangular matrices. We classify all Lie ideals

f r n

of

f r b

, satisfying

f r u^{'} s u b s e t e q f r n s u b s e t e q f r u

, such that

B

acts (by conjugation) on

f r n

with a dense orbit. Further, in case

B

does not act with a dense orbit, we give the minimal codimension of a

B

--orbit in

f r n

. This can be viewed as a first step towards the difficult open problem of classifying of all ideals

f r n s u b s e t e q f r u

such that

B

acts on

f r n

with a dense orbit. The proofs of our main results require a translation into the representation theory of a certain quasi-hereditary algebra

c A_{t, 1}

. In this setting we find the minimal dimension of

m E x t_{c A_{t, 1}}^{1} (M, M)

for a

D e l t a

-good

c A_{t, 1}

--module of certain fixed

D e l t a

-dimension vectors.
