Minuscule embeddings. (English) Zbl 1542.20216

Indag. Math., New Ser. 32, No. 5, 987-1004 (2021).
Summary: We study embeddings \(J \to G\) of simple linear algebraic groups with the following property: the simple components of the \(J\) module \(\operatorname{Lie}(G)/\operatorname{Lie}(J)\) are all minuscule representations of \(J\). One family of examples occurs when the group \(G\) has roots of two different lengths and \(J\) is the subgroup generated by the long roots. We classify all such embeddings when \(J = \mathrm{SL}_2\) and \(J = \mathrm{SL}_3\), show how each embedding implies the existence of exceptional algebraic structures on the graded components of \(\operatorname{Lie}(G)\), and relate properties of those structures to the existence of various twisted forms of \(G\) with certain relative root systems.
