Abstract

Let G be a simple simply connected algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p, with rth Frobenius kernel $$G:r$$. Let M be a $$G:r$$ -module and V a rational G-module. We put a variety structure on the set of all $$G:r$$ -summands of V that are isomorphic to M, and study basic properties of these varieties. This is primarily to set the stage for later work that will bring techniques from geometric invariant theory to bear on the problem of lifting $$G:r$$ -modules to G. However, we do give a few applications of the work in this paper to the representation theory of G, in particular noting that the truth of Donkin’s tilting module conjecture is equivalent to the linearizability of G-actions on certain affine spaces.
