Representations and cohomology for Frobenius-Lusztig kernels

Let $U_ζ$ be the quantum group (Lusztig form) associated to the simple Lie algebra $\mathfrak{g}$, with parameter $ζ$ specialized to an $\ell$-th root of unity in a field of characteristic $p>0$. In this paper we study certain finite-dimensional normal Hopf subalgebras $U_ζ(G_r)$ of $U_ζ$, called Frobenius-Lusztig kernels, which generalize the Frobenius kernels $G_r$ of an algebraic group $G$. When $r=0$, the algebras studied here reduce to the small quantum group introduced by Lusztig. We classify the irreducible $U_ζ(G_r)$-modules and discuss their characters. We then study the cohomology rings for the Frobenius-Lusztig kernels and for certain nilpotent and Borel subalgebras corresponding to unipotent and Borel subgroups of $G$. We prove that the cohomology ring for the first Frobenius-Lusztig kernel is finitely-generated when $\g$ has type $A$ or $D$, and that the cohomology rings for the nilpotent and Borel subalgebras are finitely-generated in general.
