A note on the tensor product of restricted simple modules for algebraic groups

Let G be a semisimple simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic p. Denote by G1 its first Frobenius kernel. In this note, we determine for which group G the restriction to G1 of any indecomposable G-summand of the tensor product of any two restricted simple G-modules remains indecomposable

Quasi-hereditary quotients of finite Chevalley groups and Frobenius kernels

Let G be a semisimple connected simply connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. Denote by Gn its nth Frobenius kernel and by G(pn) its finite subgroup of Fpn-rational points. In this paper we find quotients of the algebra Un = k[Gn]* and of the group algebra kG(pn) whose module category is equivalent to a (highest weight) subcategory of the category of rational G-modules

The blocks of the Brauer algebra in characteristic zero

We determine the blocks of the Brauer algebra in characteristic zero. We also give information on the submodule structure of standard modules for this algebra

Collective charge density wave motion through an ensemble of Aharonov-Bohm rings

We investigate theoretically the collective charge density wave motion through an ensemble of small disordered Aharonov-Bohm rings. It is shown that the magnetic flux modulates the threshold field and the magnetoresistance with a half flux quantum periodicity $\Phi_{0}/2=h/2e$, resulting from ensemble averaging over random scattering phases of multiple rings. The magnitude of the magnetoresistance oscillations decreases rapidly with increasing bias. This is consistent with recent experiments on $NbSe_3$ in presence of columnar defects [Phys. Rev. Lett. 78, 919 (1997)].Comment: 4 pages Revtex, 2 figures. Submitted to Phys. Rev. Let
