Reductive Algebraic Groups
A reductive group is a type of linear algebraic group over a field. One example of a reductive group is the general linear group GL(n) of invertible matrices.
The course covers:
- Classification of reductive groups over algebraically closed fields using root data.
- Geometric construction of representations by the Borel-weil theorem.
The course consists of one module.
