Abstract

Let G be an almost simple simply-connected affine algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p >  0. If G has type Bn, Cn or F4, we assume that p >  2, and if G has type G2, we assume that p >  3. Let PG be a parabolic subgroup. We prove that the tangent bundle of G/P is Frobenius stable with respect to the anticanonical polarization on G/P.
