Large Versus Small Characteristic
摘要
While some results for G-complete reducibility hold without any restrictions on the characteristic p of the underlying field, such as Lemma 4.1.6 and Theorem 9.1.1 , for instance, others do require a bound on p. In this section we explore various results of the latter kind along with some counterexamples when p is small. As above, guiding questions for this chapter are Questions 4.1.8 and 4.1.9 on ascent and descent of complete reducibility. We make the following definition.
