We study spaces of matrices coming from irreducible representations of reductive groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero and we completely classify those of constant corank one. In particular, we recover the examples coming from symmetric forms discovered in [BFL22].
Let $L/K$ be an extension of number fields that is ramified above $p$. We give a new obstruction to the descent to $K$ of smooth projective varieties defined over $L$. The obstruction is a matrix of $p$-adic numbers that we call ``ramified periods'' arising from the comparison isomorphism between de Rham cohomology and crystalline cohomology. As an application, we give simple examples of hyperelliptic curves over $\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt p)$ that are isomorphic to their Galois conjugates but such that their Jacobians do not descend to $\mathbb{Q}$ even up to isogeny.
We study the moduli stack of degree $0$ semistable $G$-bundles on an irreducible curve $E$ of arithmetic genus $1$, where $G$ is a connected reductive group. Our main result describes a partition of this stack indexed by a certain family of connected reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ (the $E$-pseudo-Levi subgroups), where each stratum is computed in terms of $H$-bundles together with the action of the relative Weyl group. We show that this result is equivalent to a Jordan--Chevalley theorem for such bundles equipped with a framing at a fixed basepoint. In the case where $E$ has a single cusp (respectively, node), this gives a new proof of the Jordan--Chevalley theorem for the Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$ (respectively, group $G$). We also provide a Tannakian description of these moduli stacks and use it to show that if $E$ is an ordinary elliptic curve, the collection of framed unipotent bundles on $E$ is equivariantly isomorphic to the unipotent cone in $G$. Finally, we classify the $E$-pseudo-Levi subgroups using the Borel--de Siebenthal algorithm and compute some explicit examples.
We show that the moduli space of semistable G-bundles on an elliptic curve for a reductive group G is isomorphic to a power of the elliptic curve modulo a certain Weyl group which depend on the topological type of the bundle. This generalises a result of Laszlo to arbitrary connected components and recovers the global description of the moduli space due to Friedman--Morgan--Witten and Schweigert. The proof is entirely in the realm of algebraic geometry and works in arbitrary characteristic.
