Abstract
A linear group is called unisingular if every element of it has eigenvalue 1. In this paper we develop some general machinery for the study of unisingular irreducible linear groups. A motivation for the study of such groups comes from several sources, including algebraic geometry, Galois theory, finite group theory and representation theory. In particular, a certain aspect of the theory of abelian varieties requires the knowledge of unisingular irreducible subgroups of the symplectic groups over the field of two elements, and in this paper we concentrate on this special case of the general problem. A more special but important question is that of the existence of such subgroups in the symplectic groups of particular degrees. We answer this question for almost all degrees , specifically, the question remains open only 7 values of n.
期刊介绍:
Linear Algebra and its Applications publishes articles that contribute new information or new insights to matrix theory and finite dimensional linear algebra in their algebraic, arithmetic, combinatorial, geometric, or numerical aspects. It also publishes articles that give significant applications of matrix theory or linear algebra to other branches of mathematics and to other sciences. Articles that provide new information or perspectives on the historical development of matrix theory and linear algebra are also welcome. Expository articles which can serve as an introduction to a subject for workers in related areas and which bring one to the frontiers of research are encouraged. Reviews of books are published occasionally as are conference reports that provide an historical record of major meetings on matrix theory and linear algebra.
