Generalized Gauss decompositions of simple algebraic groups
N. L. Gordeev Herzen State Pedagogical University of Russia, Department of Mathematics
Abstract:
Let
$\mathcal G$ be a simple algebraic group which is defined and split over a field
$K$ and which corresponds to an irreducible root system
$R$. Further, let
$G = \mathcal G(K)$ be the group of
$K$-points. We say that the group
$G$ has an
$M$-decomposition, where
$M \subset R$, if every element of the subset $\prod_{\beta \in R\setminus M} X_\beta\cdot T\cdot \prod_{\alpha\in M}X_\alpha$, where
$X_\beta, X_\alpha$ are root subgroups and
$T$ is the group of
$K$-points of a maximal split torus, can be represented uniquely as products of eleements of root subgroups and the group
$T$. Moreover, we assume here that the order of the multiplication of elements of groups
$X_\beta$ and
$X_\alpha$ is fixed. If such a decomposition holds for every fixed order of the multiplication of elements of groups $\{X_\beta\}_{\beta \in R\setminus M}, \{X_\alpha\}_{\alpha \in M}$, we say that the group
$G$ has the universal
$M$-decomposition. The important example of the universal
$M$-decomposition является is the classical Gauss decomposition where
$M = R^+$ is the set of positive roots.
In this paper we consider the examples of
$M$-decompositions, which appear when we deal with parabolic subgroups of
$\mathcal G$. Moreover, for groups of types
$A_2, B_2$ we construct the identities which are obstacles to a construction of universal
$M$-decomposition for some subsets
$M\subset R$.
