The purpose of this paper is to discuss the validity of the assumptions (W) and (S) stated in a previous work, about the torsion in the modular l-adic cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to Coxeter elements. We prove that both (W) and (S) hold except for groups of type E_7 or E_8.
This article is the final one of a series of articles on certain blocks of modular representations of finite groups of Lie type and the associated geometry. We prove the conjecture of Broué on derived equivalences induced by the complex of cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties in the case of Coxeter elements whenever the defining characteristic is good. We also prove a conjecture of Hiß, Lübeck and Malle on the Brauer trees of the corresponding blocks. As a consequence, we determine the Brauer trees (in particular, the decomposition matrix) of the principal $\ell$-block of $E_7(q)$ when $\ell \mid Φ_{18}(q)$ and $E_8(q)$ when $\ell \mid Φ_{18}(q)$ or $\ell \mid Φ_{30}(q)$.
We study the cohomology with modular coefficients of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to Coxeter elements. Under some torsion-free assumption on the cohomology we derive several results on the principal l-block of a finite reductive group G(F_q) when the order of q modulo l is assumed to be the Coxeter number. These results include the determination of the planar embedded Brauer tree of the block (as conjectured by Hiss, Lübeck and Malle) and the derived equivalence predicted by the geometric version of Broué's conjecture.
We determine the cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to some short-length regular elements for split groups of type F4 and En. As a byproduct, we obtain conjectural Brauer trees for the principal Phi_{14}-block of E7 and the principal Phi_{24}-block of E8.
We study the cohomology of parabolic Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to unipotent blocks of GLn(q). We show that the geometric version of Broué's conjecture over Q_\ell, together with Craven's formula, holds for any unipotent block whenever it holds for the principal Phi_1-block, that is for the variety X(π).
We study the quotient of parabolic Deligne-Lusztig varieties by a finite unipotent group U^F where U is the unipotent radical of a rational parabolic subgroup P = L U. We show that in some particular cases the cohomology of this quotient can be expressed in terms of "smaller" parabolic Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to the Levi subgroup L.
We show that for an algebraic reductive group $G$, the partition of a double Schubert cell in the flag variety $G/B$ defined by Deodhar, and coming from a Bialynicki-Birula decomposition, is not a stratification in general. We give a counterexample for a group of type B$_n$, where the closure of some specific cell of dimension $2n$ has a non-trivial intersection with a cell of dimension $3n-3$
Using Deodhar's decomposition of a double Schubert cell, we study the regular representations of finite groups of Lie type arising in the cohomology of Deligne-Lusztig varieties associated to tori. We deduce that the Deligne-Lusztig restriction of a Gelfand-Graev module is a shifted Gelfand-Graev module.
