Actions of parabolic subgroups in $$\text{GL}_n$$ on unipotent normal subgroups and quasi-hereditary algebras. (English) Zbl 0978.16008
Let $$K$$ be a field, $$n\geq 1$$ an integer and $$R$$ a parabolic subgroup of $$\text{GL}_n(K)$$. Then $$R$$ acts on its unipotent radical $$R_u$$ and on any unipotent normal subgroup $$U$$ by conjugation. Each parabolic subgroup $$R$$ is the group of automorphisms of a finite dimensional $$K$$-algebra $$\Lambda(d)$$, $$d\in\mathbb{N}^t$$, which is Morita equivalent to the path algebra $$\Lambda=K\mathbb{A}_t$$ of a directed Dynkin quiver $$\mathbb{A}_t$$ with $$t$$ vertices. The actions of $$R$$ on $$U$$ are described by means of the category $$\text{Mat}(B)$$ of matrices in the sense of Yu. Drozd over a subbimodule $$B$$ of the radical of $$\Lambda$$ viewed as a $$\Lambda$$-$$\Lambda$$-bimodule. In this way, for each $$d\in\mathbb{N}^t$$ there is a parabolic group $$R(d)$$ of invertible elements in $$\Lambda(d)$$ and a unipotent subgroup $$U(d)$$ of $$R(d)$$. One of the main results of the paper asserts that there is a quasi-hereditary algebra $$\mathcal A$$ such that the orbits of $$R(d)$$ on $$U(d)$$ correspond bijectively to the isomorphism classes of $$\Delta$$-filtered $$\mathcal A$$-modules of $$\Delta$$-dimension vector $$d$$. The bijection is induced by a morphism of algebraic varieties. In particular, it preserves degenerations and families. A quiver with relations of the quasi-hereditary algebra $$\mathcal A$$ is determined.
