Let G be an affine algebraic group scheme over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0, and let Gr denote the rth Frobenius kernel of G. Motivated by recent work of Friedlander, the authors investigate the class of mock injective G-modules, which are defined to be those rational G-modules that are injective on restriction to Gr for all r 1. In this paper, the authors provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of non-injective mock injective G-modules, thereby answering a question raised by Friedlander. Furthermore, the authors investigate the existence of non-injective mock injectives with simple socles. Interesting cases are discovered that show that this can occur for reductive groups, but will not occur for their Borel subgroups.Thus, every central character is of the form χ = λ + ZJ. If we let π : X(T ) → X(Z J ) denote the quotient map, then π(ZΦ) = ZΦ/ZJ ∼ = ZI where I = Δ\J. It follows that any L J -module M , whose weights all lie in ZΦ, has a central character decomposition of the form M = χ∈ZI M χ . This statement particularly applies to k[U J ]. Lemma 3.3.2. The L J -module k[U J ] has a central character decomposition of the formProof. First, recall that k[U J ] is a polynomial ring given bywhere each x γ has weight γ. For any weight λ ∈ X(T ), the weight space k[U J ] λ is spanned by monomials of the form γ∈Φ + \Φ + J x nγ γ , where λ = γ n γ γ with n γ 0 is any expression for λ. Since there are only finitely many ways to express λ as a non-negative integral combination of elements in Φ + \Φ + J , we can conclude that the weight spaces are finite-dimensional. Fix a central character χ ∈ X(Z J ) which acts non-trivially on k[U J ]. By the remark preceding this lemma and the above description of the weight spaces of k[U J ], it follows that there exists a unique weight λ ∈ NI satisfying χ = λ + ZJ.
