Abstract: Let (SL2)r be the r-th Frobenius kernels of the group scheme SL2 defined over an algebraically field of characteristic p>2. In this paper we give for rge1 a complete description of the cohomology groups for (SL2)r. We also prove that the reduced cohomology ring is Cohen-Macaulay. Geometrically, we show for each rge1 that the maximal ideal spectrum of the cohomology ring for (SL2)r is homeomorphic to the fiber product GimesBfrakur. Finally, we adapt our calculations to obtain analogous results for the cohomology of higher Frobenius-Luzstig kernels of quantized enveloping algebras of type SL2.


Let \(G\) be a simple, simply-connected algebraic group scheme over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of prime characteristic with a Borel subgroup \(B\) having unipotent radical \(U\). Further, for a positive integer \(r\), let \(G_r\), \(B_r\), and \(U_r\) denote the \(r\)-th Frobenius kernels of \(G\), \(B\), and \(U\), respectively. A longstanding problem is to identify the cohomology ring \(H^\bullet(G_r,k)\) as well as the \(G_r\)-cohomology of various standard modules. In this work, the author makes extensive computations in the special case that \(G=\mathrm{SL}_2\).NEWLINENEWLINE The author begins by computing (as \(B\)-modules) the cohomology groups \(H^\bullet(U_r,\lambda)\) for a weight \(\lambda\) considered also as a one-dimensional \(B\)-module. This is achieved by taking a new look at a classical spectral sequence involving symmetric and exterior powers of the dual of the Lie algebra of \(U\). From there, the author computes \(H^\bullet(B_r,\lambda)\) and further \(H^\bullet(G_r,\text{ind}_B^G\lambda)\). In the latter case, one obtains an explicit filtration involving (twists of) induced modules \(\text{ind}_B^G\mu\), and the author presents an algorithm for computing the multiplicity of the appearance of such a module.NEWLINENEWLINE In the special case that \(\lambda=0\), the author's description of \(H^\bullet(G_r,k)\) holds as an algebra. Considering the algebra structure, the author looks at reduced cohomology algebras (obtained by factoring out by the nilradical). Both \(H^\bullet(B_r,k)_{\text{red}}\) and \(H^\bullet(G_r,k)_{\text{red}}\) are determined and shown to be Cohen-Macaulay. Further, the spectra of the reduced cohomology rings are investigated. The prime ideal spectrum of \(H^\bullet(G_r,k)_{\text{red}}\) is shown to be homeomorphic to the spectrum of the ring of global sections of the fiber bundle \(G\times^B\mathfrak u^r\), where \(\mathfrak u\) denotes the Lie algebra of \(U\).NEWLINENEWLINE Lastly, still working over \(\mathrm{SL}_2\), the author investigates the cohomology rings of certain Frobenius-Lusztig kernels of quantum groups that were introduced by \textit{C. M. Drupieski} [J. Pure Appl. Algebra 215, No. 6, 1473-1491 (2011; Zbl 1242.17014)]. Analogous computations and conclusions are made using the same methods as for ordinary Frobenius kernels.
