Minimal-dimensional representations of reduced enveloping algebras for

Abstract: Let

m a t h f r a k g = m a t h f r a k {g l}_{N} (k)

, where

k

is an algebraically closed field of characteristic

p > 0

, and

N i n m a t h b b Z_{g e 1}

. Let

c h i i n m a t h f r a k g^{*}

and denote by

U_{c} h i (m a t h f r a k g)

the corresponding reduced enveloping algebra. The Kac--Weisfeiler conjecture, which was proved by Premet, asserts that any finite dimensional

U_{c} h i (m a t h f r a k g)

-module has dimension divisible by

p^{d_{c} h i}

, where

d_{c} h i

is half the dimension of the coadjoint orbit of

c h i

. Our main theorem gives a classification of

U_{c} h i (m a t h f r a k g)

-modules of dimension

p^{d_{c} h i}

. As a consequence, we deduce that they are all parabolically induced from a 1-dimensional module for

U_{0} (m a t h f r a k h)

for a certain Levi subalgebra

m a t h f r a k h

of

m a t h f r a k g

; we view this as a modular analogue of M{oe}glin's theorem on completely primitive ideals in

U (m a t h f r a k {g l}_{N} (m a t h b b C))

. To obtain these results, we reduce to the case

c h i

is nilpotent, and then classify the 1-dimensional modules for the corresponding restricted

W

-algebra.
