Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group of type $G_2$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $2$. We give an example of a finite group $Gamma$ with Sylow $2$-subgroup $Gamma_2$ and an infinite family of pairwise non-conjugate homomorphisms $rhocolon Gammarightarrow G$ whose restrictions to $Gamma_2$ are all conjugate. This answers a question of Burkhard Kulshammer from 1995. We also give an action of $Gamma$ on a connected unipotent group $V$ such that the map of 1-cohomologies ${rm H}^1(Gamma,V)rightarrow {rm H}^1(Gamma_p,V)$ induced by restriction of 1-cocycles has an infinite fibre.

Let $G$ be a linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic $pgeq 0$. We show that if $H_1$ and $H_2$ are connected subgroups of $G$ such that $H_1$ and $H_2$ have a common maximal unipotent subgroup and $H_1/R_u(H_1)$ and $H_2/R_u(H_2)$ are semisimple, then $H_1$ and $H_2$ are $G$-conjugate. Moreover, we show that if $H$ is a semisimple linear algebraic group with maximal unipotent subgroup $U$ then for any algebraic group homomorphism $sigmacolon Urightarrow G$, there are only finitely many $G$-conjugacy classes of algebraic group homomorphisms $rhocolon Hrightarrow G$ such that $rho|_U$ is $G$-conjugate to $sigma$. This answers an analogue for connected algebraic groups of a question of B. Kulshammer. In Kulshammers original question, $H$ is replaced by a finite group and $U$ by a Sylow $p$-subgroup of $H$; the answer is then known to be no in general. We obtain some results in the general case when $H$ is non-connected and has positive dimension. Along the way, we prove existence and conjugacy results for maximal unipotent subgroups of non-connected linear algebraic groups. When $G$ is reductive, we formulate Kulshammers question and related conjugacy problems in terms of the nonabelian 1-cohomology of unipotent radicals of parabolic subgroups of $G$, and we give some applications of this cohomological approach. In particular, we analyse the case when $G$ is a semisimple group of rank 2.
We establish some results on the structure of the geometric unipotent radicals of pseudo-reductive k-groups. In particular, our main theorem gives bounds on the nilpotency class of geometric unipotent radicals of standard pseudo-reductive groups, which are sharp in many cases. A major part of the proof rests upon consideration of the following situation: let k be a purely inseparable field extension of k of degree p^e and let G denote the Weil restriction of scalars R_{k/k}(G) of a reductive k-group G. When G= R_{k/k}(G) we also provide some results on the orders of elements of the unipotent radical RR_u(G_{bar k}) of the extension of scalars of G to the algebraic closure bar k of k.
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group---possibly non-connected---over a field $k$ and let $H$ be a subgroup of $G$. If $G= GL_n$ then there is a degeneration process for obtaining from $H$ a completely reducible subgroup $H$ of $G$; one takes a limit of $H$ along a cocharacter of $G$ in an appropriate sense. We generalise this idea to arbitrary reductive $G$ using the notion of $G$-complete reducibility and results from geometric invariant theory over non-algebraically closed fields due to the authors and Herpel. Our construction produces a $G$-completely reducible subgroup $H$ of $G$, unique up to $G(k)$-conjugacy, which we call a $k$-semisimplification of $H$. This gives a single unifying construction which extends various special cases in the literature (in particular, it agrees with the usual notion for $G= GL_n$ and with Serres $G$-analogue of semisimplification for subgroups of $G(k)$). We also show that under some extra hypotheses, one can pick $H$ in a more canonical way using the Tits Centre Conjecture for spherical buildings and/or the theory of optimal destabilising cocharacters introduced by Hesselink, Kempf and Rousseau.
Let $G$ be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field and let $V$ be a quasi-projective $G$-variety. We prove that the set of points $vin V$ such that ${rm dim}(G_v)$ is minimal and $G_v$ is reductive is open. We also prove some results on the existence of principal stabilisers in an appropriate sense.
Let $F$ be either $mathbb{R}$ or a finite extension of $mathbb{Q}_p$, and let $G$ be a finite central extension of the group of $F$-points of a reductive group defined over $F$. Also let $pi$ be a smooth representation of $G$ (Frechet of moderate growth if $F=mathbb{R}$). For each nilpotent orbit $mathcal{O}$ we consider a certain Whittaker quotient $pi_{mathcal{O}}$ of $pi$. We define the Whittaker support WS$(pi)$ to be the set of maximal $mathcal{O}$ among those for which $pi_{mathcal{O}} eq 0$. In this paper we prove that all $mathcal{O}inmathrm{WS}(pi)$ are quasi-admissible nilpotent orbits, generalizing some of the results in [Moe96,JLS16]. If $F$ is $p$-adic and $pi$ is quasi-cuspidal then we show that all $mathcal{O}inmathrm{WS}(pi)$ are $F$-distinguished, i.e. do not intersect the Lie algebra of any proper Levi subgroup of $G$ defined over $F$. We also give an adaptation of our argument to automorphic representations, generalizing some results from [GRS03,Shen16,JLS16,Cai] and confirming some conjectures from [Ginz06]. Our methods are a synergy of the methods of the above-mentioned papers, and of our preceding paper [GGS17].
