Induced action on infinitesimal thickenings by an algebraic group
Let $X$ be an irreducible locally noetherian $k$-scheme (for $k$ any field), $G$ an algebraic group acting on $X$ via $a:G \times X \to X$ and $x \in X$ a closed point, which is by Zariski's lemma ...

Lie algebras and pulled back group schemes
Suppose I have an extension of fields $L/K$, a group scheme $G_K$ over $\operatorname {Spec} K$. Let $G_L$ denote the pullback of $G_K$ to $\operatorname{Spec} L$. Then, under what conditions on the ...

Group scheme with an isotrivial maximal torus
Let $G$ be a reductive group scheme over a normal ring $A$. Then, we know that Zariski locally it admits a maximal torus.
Let us assume that it admits a maximal torus after a finite surjective (resp. ...

Finite commutative group schemes whose exponent coincides with its rank
In group theory, a finite commutative group $G$ contains an element whose order is the exponent of $G$. Thus, If the exponent of $G$ is the same as the order of $G$, it must be that $G$ is cyclic. ...

Discriminant ideal in a member of Barsotti-Tate Group
Let $S = \operatorname{Spec} R$ an affine scheme (in our case latter a complete dvr) and $p$ a prime. Then Barsotti-Tate group or $p$-divisible group $G$ of height $h$ over $S$
is an inductive system

What is $\mathrm{O}_q/\mathrm{SO}_q$ if $q$ is a quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-form which is degenerate?
Any binary quadratic $\mathbb{Z}$-form $q$ induces a symmetric bilinear form
$$ B_q(u,v) = q(u+v) - q(u) -q(v) \ \ \forall u,v \ \in\mathbb{Z}^2 $$
and it is considered non-degenerate (over $\mathbb{...
