Abstract:

In this paper we classify and give Kazhdan-Lusztig type character formulas for equivariantly irreducible representations of Lie algebras of reductive algebraic groups over a field of large positive characteristic. The equivariance is with respect to a group whose connected component is a torus. Character computation is done in two steps. First, we treat the case of distinguished $p$-characters: those that are not contained in a proper Levi. Here we essentially show that the category of equivariant modules we consider is a cell quotient of an affine parabolic category $\mathcal {O}$. For this, we prove an equivalence between two categorifications of a parabolically induced module over the affine Hecke algebra conjectured by the first named author. For the general nilpotent $p$-character, we get character formulas by explicitly computing the duality operator on a suitable equivariant K-group.
