The second cohomology of small irreducible modules for simple algebraic groups

George J. McNinch

Published 2000-06-14, updated 2000-12-05Version 3

Let G be a simple, simply connected and connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p>0, and let V be a rational G-module such that dim V <= p. According to a result of Jantzen, V is completely reducible, and H^1(G,V)=0. In this paper we show that H^2(G,V) = 0 unless some composition factor of V is a non-trivial Frobenius twist of the adjoint representation of G.

Comments: 11 pages; includes now a simplified proof, that was pointed out to the Author, of the main result in the case where Lie(G) acts non-trivially
