• Cocharacter-closure and spherical buildings 

      [OWP-2015-12] Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2015-07-29)
      Let $k$ be a field, let $G$ be a reductive $k$-group and $V$ an affine $k$-variety on which $G$ acts. In this note we continue our study of the notion of cocharacter-closed $G(k)$-orbits in $V$. In earlier work we used a ...
    • Cocharacter-Closure and the Rational Hilbert-Mumford Theorem 

      [OWP-2014-16] Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2014-12-20)
      For a field $k$, let $G$ be a reductive $k$-group and $V$ an affine $k$-variety on which $G$ acts. Using the notion of cocharacter-closed $G(k)$-orbits in $V$ , we prove a rational version of the celebrated Hilbert-Mumford ...
    • Edifices: Building-like Spaces Associated to Linear Algebraic Groups; In memory of Jacques Tits 

      [OWP-2023-04] Bate, Michael; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2023-06-19)
      Given a semisimple linear algebraic $k$-group $G$, one has a spherical building $Δ_G$, and one can interpret the geometric realisation $Δ_G(\mathbb R)$ of $Δ_G$ in terms of cocharacters of $G$. The aim of this paper is to ...
    • G-complete reducibility in non-connected groups 

      [OWP-2013-09] Bate, Michael; Herpel, Sebastian; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2013-04-10)
      In this paper we present an algorithm for determining whether a subgroup $H$ of a non-connected reductive group $G$ is $G$-completely reducible. The algorithm consists of a series of reductions; at each step, we perform ...
    • On Unipotent Radicals of Pseudo-Reductive Groups 

      [OWP-2017-12] Bate, Michael; Martin, Benjamin; Röhrle, Gerhard; Stewart, David I. (Mathematisches Forschungsinstitut Oberwolfach, 2017-04-27)
      We establish some results on the structure of the geometric unipotent radicals of pseudo-reductive k-groups. In particular, let $k'$ be a purely inseparable field extension of k of degree $p^e$ and let $G$ denote the ...
