Abstract

Abstract.Let G be a reductive connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of positive characteristic and let 𝔤 be its Lie algebra. First we extend a well-known result about the Picard group of a semi-simple group to reductive groups. Then we prove that if the derived group is simply connected and 𝔤 satisfies a mild condition, the algebra K[G]𝔤 of regular functions on G that are invariant under the action of 𝔤 derived from the conjugation action is a unique factorisation domain.
