Jordan blocks of nilpotent elements in some irreducible representations of classical groups in good characteristic

Published 30 Oct 2020 in math.GR and math.RT | (2010.16173v2)

Abstract: Let $G$ be a classical group with natural module $V$ and Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ over an algebraically closed field $K$ of good characteristic. For rational irreducible representations $f: G \rightarrow \operatorname{GL}(W)$ occurring as composition factors of $V \otimes V*$, $\wedge2(V)$, and $S2(V)$, we describe the Jordan normal form of $\mathrm{d} f(e)$ for all nilpotent elements $e \in \mathfrak{g}$. The description is given in terms of the Jordan block sizes of the action of $e$ on $V \otimes V*$, $\wedge2(V)$, and $S2(V)$, for which recursive formulae are known. Our results are in analogue to earlier work (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 147 (2019) 4205-4219), where we considered these same representations and described the Jordan normal form of $f(u)$ for every unipotent element $u \in G$.
