The second cohomology of small irreducible modules for simple algebraic groups

George J. McNinch

Vol. 204 (2002), No. 2, 459–472
Abstract

Let G be a connected, simply connected, quasisimple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 0, and let V be a rational G-module such that dimV p. According to a result of Jantzen, V is completely reducible, and H1(G,V ) = 0. In this paper we show that H2(G,V ) = 0 unless some composition factor of V is a nontrivial Frobenius twist of the adjoint representation of G.
