The Block Structure of the Images of Regular Unipotent Elements from Subsystem Symplectic Subgroups of Rank 2 in Irreducible Representations of Symplectic Groups. I

Abstract

The dimensions of the Jordan blocks in the images of regular unipotent elements from subsystem subgroups of type C2 in p-restricted irreducible representations of groups of type Cn in characteristic p ≥ 11 with locally small highest weights are found. These results can be applied for investigating the behavior of unipotent elements in modular representations of simple algebraic groups and recognizing representations and linear groups. The article consists of 3 parts. In the first one, preliminary lemmas that are necessary for proving the principal results, are contained and the case where all weights of the restriction of a representation considered to a subgroup of type A1 containing a relevant unipotent element are less than p, is investigated.
