Non-existence of non-trivial normal elements in the Iwasawa Algebra of Chevalley groups (1907.13333v1)

Published 31 Jul 2019 in math.NT, math.RA, and math.RT

Abstract: For a prime $p>2$, let $G$ be a semi-simple, simply connected, split Chevalley group over $\mathbb{Z}p$, $G(1)$ be the first congruence kernel of $G$ and $\Omega{G(1)}$ be the mod-$p$ Iwasawa algebra defined over the finite field $\mathbb{F}p$. Ardakov, Wei, Zhang have shown that if $p$ is a "nice prime " ($p \geq 5$ and $p \nmid n+1$ if the Lie algebra of $G(1)$ is of type $A_n$), then every non-zero normal element in $\Omega{G(1)}$ is a unit. Furthermore, they conjecture in their paper that their nice prime condition is superfluous. The main goal of this article is to provide an entirely new proof of Ardakov, Wei and Zhang's result using explicit presentation of Iwasawa algebra developed by the second author of this article and thus eliminating the nice prime condition, therefore proving their conjecture.
