# Friday, November 13 ## Review Review: we're considering $G_r T\dash$modules, with several associated modules of interest: - Simple modules $\hat{L}_r(\lambda)$ for $\lambda \in X(T)$ - Intermediate modules $\nabla(\lambda) = \hat{Z}_r'(\lambda)$ and $\Delta(\lambda) = \hat{Z}_r(\lambda)$. - Injective and projective modules $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ :::{.theorem title="?"} Let $M$ be a $G_r T\dash$module of finite dimension. Then $M$ has a $\hat{Z}_r$ filtration $\iff$ $M\downarrow_{B_r}$ is projective. ::: :::{.remark} From this, the multiplicity $[M: \hat{Z}_r(\mu)]$ (the number of times $\hat{Z}_r(\mu)$ appears in a $\hat{Z}_r$ filtration ) is well-defined. Moreover, we have a decomposition \[ M\downarrow_{B_r} = \bigoplus_{\mu} Z_r(\mu)\downarrow_{B_r} ,\] where the sum contains as many terms as the number of factors that appear. We have $Z_r(\mu)\downarrow_{B_r} \surjects \mu$, making is the projective cover of $\mu$ and thus indecomposable. We can then apply the Krull-Schmidt theorem. ::: ## Reciprocity Consider $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$, a projective $G_r T\dash$module. Note that it also happens to be injective. We saw before that the functor $\coind_{B_r T}^{G_r T}(\wait)$ is exact, and thus $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)\downarrow_{B_r T}$ being projective implies that $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)\downarrow{B_r}$ is also projective. This implies that $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ has a $\hat{Z}_r\dash$filtration. Thus the multiplicity can be computed as \[ [\hat{Q}_r(\lambda) : \hat{Z}_r(\mu)] &= [\hat{Q}_r \downarrow{B_r T} : \hat{Z}_r(\mu)] \\ &= \dim \Hom_{B_r T}\qty{\hat{Q}_r(\lambda), \mu } \\ &= \dim \Hom_{B_r T}\qty{ \hat{Q}_r(\lambda), \ind_{B_r T}^{G_r T} \mu } && \text{by Frobenius reciprocity} \\ \] :::{.exercise title="?"} Show that \[ [M: S] = \dim \Hom_A( P(S), \mu) = [\ind_{B_r T}^{B_r T} \mu : \hat{L}_r(\lambda)] .\] ::: We can thus continue this computation as \[ \cdots &= [\hat{Z}_r'(\mu) : \hat{L}_r(\mu)] \\ &= [\hat{Z}_r(\mu) : \hat{L}_r(\mu)] ,\] since $\ch \hat{Z}_r (\mu) = \ch \hat{Z}_r'(\mu)$. Thus we have the following reciprocity theorem :::{.theorem title="Humphreys"} \[ [\hat{Q}_r(\lambda): \hat{Z}_r(\mu)] = [\hat{Z}_r(\mu) : \hat{L}_r (\lambda) ] .\] ::: :::{.remark} This is hard to prove in the $G_r$ category, need to work in the $G_r T$ category and descend. However, this reciprocity does also work for $G_r$. ::: :::{.example title="?"} For $G = \SL_2$, consider $G_1 T$ or $G_1$ where $\lambda = 0,1,2,\cdots, (p-1)$. We have a notion of *linkage*: $\lambda, \mu$ are in the same $G_1$ block iff $\lambda + \mu = p-2$. Note that $\lambda = p-1$ is in its own block. We have \[ Z_r(\lambda) = \coind_{B_1^+}^{G_1} \lambda \surjects L(\lambda) .\] If $\lambda + \mu = p-2$, then we have the following situation: ![Image](figures/image_2020-11-13-14-15-25.png){width=350px} Taking $\lambda = p-1$, we have $Z_r((p-1)\rho) = L(p-1) = \St_1$. Applying reciprocity, we gave \[ [Q_1(0) : Q_1(\mu)] = [Q_1(\mu): L(0)] .\] Since $Q_1(0)$ has factors $Z_1(0)$ and $Z_1(p-2)$, we have ![Image](figures/image_2020-11-13-14-18-03.png){width=350px} We can identify the two filtrations here: ![Image](figures/image_2020-11-13-14-19-49.png){width=350px} Similarly, for $Q_1(p-2)$ we have ![Image](figures/image_2020-11-13-14-21-17.png){width=350px} We have - $\dim \hat{Q}_1(\lambda) = 2p$ for $\lambda \neq p-1$ - $\dim \hat{Q}_1(p-1) = p$ for $\lambda = p-1$. ::: :::{.remark title="Some historical background on reciprocity laws"} Some work predated the BGG Category $\OO$. For finite groups, a notion of CDE triangles was worked out. 1. Pollack (1967) computed the structure of projectives for $G_1$ in $G = \SL_2$. 2. Humphreys (1971) proved reciprocity for $G_1$. (They were students together.) 3. Bernstein-Gelfand-Gelfand (1976): developed machinery for Category $\OO$, crediting Humphreys. 4. Roche-Caridi (1980): Proved reciprocity for generalized Verma modules. 5. BGG Algebra, Irving: A more axiomatic approach. 6. CPS (1988): Generalized to highest weight categories, also attributed to Humphreys. 7. Holmes-Nakano (1987): Proved when there is a triangular decomposition $A = A^- A_0 A^+$, looked at filtrations and reciprocity, applies to Lie algebras of Cartan type.[^cartan_type] [^cartan_type]: Simple Lie algebras in characteristic $p$ with a triangular decomposition which is highly non-symmetric (negative part is typically smaller). ::: ## Toward Lifting Conjectures Recall that $G_r T \subseteq G$. **Question**: Given $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ for a restricted weight $\lambda \in X_r(T)$, does $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ *lift* to $G$? I.e., does there exist a $G\dash$module $M(\lambda)$ such that $M(\lambda)\downarrow_{G_r T} = \hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$? :::{.remark} Note that $L_r(\lambda)$ for $\lambda\in X_r(T)$ lifts to $G$, since $L(\lambda)\downarrow_{G_r T} = \hat{L}_r(\lambda)$. ::: :::{.theorem title="?"} Let $p > 2h-2$ and $\lambda \in X_r(T)$, then $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ has a lift to a $G$ structure. ::: :::{.remark title="Some history"} \envlist - One can prove that the $G$ structure is unique, since this turns out to be a projective module in an appropriate category (which we won't get into). - Ballard (1970s) proved the theorem for $p>3h-3$. - Jantzen (late 1970s) lowered the bound to $p>2h-2$ - Amazingly, no one has been able to lower this bound! This is currently an open question. - For $G = \SL_2, \SL_3$, it is known that $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda)$ has a $G$ structure for all $p$. ::: ### Donkin's Tilting Module Conjecture From MSRI, 1990. Some notation first: for $\lambda \in X_r(T)$, define \[ \hat{\lambda} \da 2(p-1) \rho + w_0 \lambda .\] :::{.conjecture title="?"} Let $G$ be a semisimple simply connected algebraic group over $k = \bar{F}_p$ for some $p$. Then \[ T(\hat \lambda) \downarrow_{G_r T} \cong \hat{Q}_r(\lambda) .\] ::: \todo[inline]{Something about DTilt conjecture being true for $p>2h-2$.} Next time: - Proof of theorem - $\hat{Q}_r(\lambda) \divides \St_r \tensor L(\sigma)$ as $G\dash$modules, and is also projective as a $G_r T\dash$module. - Find a $G\dash$summand $M(\lambda)$ such that $M(\lambda)\downarrow_{G_r T} = \hat{Q}_r (\lambda)$. - More with injective modules. - Possibly something about cohomology of Frobenius kernels.
