Abstract: Let G be a simple, simply connected and connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, and let V be a rational G-module such that dim V <= p. According to a result of Jantzen, V is completely reducible, and H^1(G,V)=0. In this paper we show that H^2(G,V) = 0 unless some composition factor of V is a non-trivial Frobenius twist of the adjoint representation of G.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a connected, simply connected, quasisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(p>0\). Let \(V\) be a \(G\)-module with \(\dim V\leq p\), so that \(V\) is semi-simple by a result of Jantzen. The main result says that \(H^2(G,V)\neq 0\) if and only if \(V\) has a composition factor isomorphic with a \(d\)-fold Frobenius twist \({\mathfrak g}^{[d]}\) of the adjoint representation for some \(d\geq 1\). As auxiliary results the author proves: Suppose \(p\geq h\) and \(W\) is a \(G\)-module for which \(H^1(G,W)=H^2(G,W)=0\). Then \(H^2(G,W^{[d]})\cong\Hom_G({\mathfrak g},W)\) for all \(d\geq 1\). Next assume \(p>h\). Then in fact \(\dim H^2(G,{\mathfrak g}^{[d]})=1\) for all \(d\geq1 \). For any \(p\), there is a \(d_0\geq 1\), so that \(H^2(G,{\mathfrak g}^{[d]})\neq 0\) for all \(d\geq d_0\).
