“…These notions were introduced by Lemire, Popov and Reichstein [20]; for a more detailed discussion and numerous classical examples, we refer the reader to [20,Introduction]. The main results of [20] are the classifications of Cayley and stably Cayley simple groups in the case where the base field k is algebraically closed and of characteristic 0. The goal of this paper is to extend some of these results to the case where k is an arbitrary field of characteristic 0.…”

“…Example 1.1. If k is algebraically closed and G is a reductive k-group, then by [20,Theorem 1.27] G is stably Cayley if and only if its character lattice is quasi-permutation; see Definition 2.1. Example 1.2.…”

A linear algebraic group G over a field k is called a Cayley group if it admits a Cayley map, i.e., a G-equivariant birational isomorphism over k between the group variety G and its Lie algebra. A Cayley map can be thought of as a partial algebraic analogue of the exponential map. A prototypical example is the classical "Cayley transform" for the special orthogonal group SOn defined by Arthur Cayley in 1846. A linear algebraic group G is called stably Cayley if G × G r m is Cayley for some r ≥ 0. Here G r m denotes the split r-dimensional k-torus. These notions were introduced in 2006 by Lemire, Popov and Reichstein, who classified Cayley and stably Cayley simple groups over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero.In this paper we study reductive Cayley groups over an arbitrary field k of characteristic zero. Our main results are a criterion for a reductive group G to be stably Cayley, formulated in terms of its character lattice, and a classification of stably Cayley simple groups.2010 Mathematics Subject Classification.

“…Let N be the normalizer of t in G. We endow t⊕t with the natural N -module structure. Let G × N (t ⊕ t) be the algebraic homogeneous vector G-bundle over G/N with fiber t ⊕ t, see [Se,§2], [PV 2 , 4.8], [LPR,2.17]. Denote by g * t the image of point (g, t) ∈ G × (t ⊕ t) under the natural projection G × (t ⊕ t) → G × N (t ⊕ t).…”

Let C be the commuting variety of the Lie algebra g of a connected noncommutative reductive algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. Let C sing be the singular locus of C and let C irr be the locus of points whose Gstabilizers have dimension > rk G. We prove that: (a) C sing is a nonempty subset of C irr ; (b) codim C C irr = 5 − max l(a) where the maximum is taken over all simple ideals a of g and l(a) is the "lacety" of a; and (c) if t is a Cartan subalgebra of g and α ∈ t * a root of g with respect to t, then G(Ker α × Ker α) is an irreducible component of C irr of codimension 4 in C. This yields the bound codim C C sing 5−max l(a) and, in particular, codim C C sing 2. The latter may be regarded as an evidence in favor of the known longstanding conjecture that C is always normal. We also prove that the algebraic variety C is rational.

“…Our goal in this section is to prove the following variant of [LPR,Lemma 2.17], which will be repeatedly used in the sequel. Here, as usual, RMaps H (Z, R) denotes the k(Z) H -algebra of H -equivariant rational maps Z R.…”
