Abstract

Let G be a reductive group, defined over the Galois field \({\mathbb{F}_p}\) with p being good for G. Using support varieties and covering techniques based on G r T-modules, we determine the position of simple modules and baby Verma modules within the stable Auslander–Reiten quiver Γ s (G r ) of the rth Frobenius kernel of G. In particular, we show that the almost split sequences terminating in these modules usually have an indecomposable middle term. Concerning support varieties, we introduce a reduction technique leading to isomorphisms

$$\mathcal{V}_{G_r}(Z_r(\lambda)) \cong \mathcal{V}_{G_{r-d}}(Z_{r-d}(\mu))$$

for baby Verma modules of certain highest weights \({\lambda, \mu \in X(T)}\), which are related by the notion of depth.
