The spherical-building conjecture for smooth-group actions on reductive groups
The spherical-building conjecture for smooth-group actions on reductive groups
Suppose that is quasisemisimple. Write for the maximal pseudo-reductive quotient of , which is reductive by the cited theorem. There are a unique subset of and a map
with the following properties. For every split torus in , the subset consists precisely of the rays through elements
such that contains the unipotent radical of , and the natural diagram relating , ), , and commutes. Spherical-building conjecture. The map is a bijection from onto
The existence of the set and map is described as accessible, with uniqueness then immediate; the claimed surjectivity is left for future work. Thus the bijectivity assertion is open in the source.
