Embeddings of DI₂ in F₄

Publication:2731952





The Dickson algebra of invariants of the \(GL_2(\mathbb{F}_3)\) action on \(\mathbb{F}_3[t_1,t_3]\) is \(D(2)\cong \mathbb{F}_3[x_{12},x_{16}]\). Zabrodsky constructed a space \(BDI_2\) realizing \(D(2)\) in \(\text{mod }3\) cohomology. The construction, quite technical, involved \(BF_4\), the classifying space of the exceptional Lie group \(F_4\).NEWLINENEWLINENEWLINEThe authors construct an involution on \(BF_4\) which yields \(BDI_2\) as the homotopy fixed point space of the action on \(BF_4\). Up to self maps of \(BDI_2\), there is only a single embedding of \(BDI_2\) in \(BF_4\).
