Title: Construction of p −1 Irreducible Modules with Fundamental Highest Weight for the Symplectic Group in Characteristic p: Construction of \(p-1\) irreducible modules with fundamental highest weight for the symplectic group in characteristic \(p\)
Authors: Rod Gow
Source: Journal of the London Mathematical Society. 58:619-632
Publisher Information: Wiley, 1998.
Publication Year: 1998
Subject Terms: Representation theory for linear algebraic groups, exterior algebras, dimension formulas, Modular representations and characters, Representations of finite groups of Lie type, symplectic groups, 0101 mathematics, irreducible modules, 01 natural sciences, Group rings of finite groups and their modules (group-theoretic aspects)
Description: The modules described in the title are constructed by means of a contraction map on an exterior algebra, induced by a nondegenerate alternating bilinear form. The details are formidable. It is noted that the dimensions of these modules cannot be obtained easily if \(p>3\), although a formula in terms of generalized Fibonacci numbers is given when \(p=5\).
