Support Theory for Extended Drinfeld Doubles

Abstract: Following earlier work with Cris Negron on the cohomology of Drinfeld doubles

D (m a t h b b G_{(r)})

, we develop a "geometric theory" of support varieties for "extended Drinfeld doubles"

i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)})

of Frobenius kernels

m a t h b b G_{(r)}

of smooth linear algebraic groups

m a t h b b G

over a field

k

of characteristic

p > 0

. To a

i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)})

-module

M

we associate the space

P i (i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)}))_{M}

of equivalence classes of "pairs of

p i

-points" and prove most of the desired properties of

M m a p s t o P i (i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)}))_{M}

. Namely, this association satisfies the "tensor product property" and admits a natural continuous map

P s i_{i l d e D}

to cohomological support theory. Moreover, for

M

finite dimensional and with suitable conditions on

m a t h b b G_{(r)}

, this association provides a "projectivity test",

P s i_{i l d e D}

is a homeomorphism, and identifies

P i (i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)}))_{M}

with the cohomological support variety of

M

for various classes of

i l d e D (m a t h b b G_{(r)})

-modules

M
