Local-global principles for the existence of Levi factors
arXiv:2603.26501
Abstract
We discuss local-global principles for the existence of Levi factors (i.e., complements to the unipotent radical) for linear algebraic groups over one-variable function fields. We give examples of disconnected groups that fail the local-global principle, and prove a strong local-global principle in the presence of Levi descent.
