AbstractThe classification of the nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebra of a reductive algebraic group (over an algebraically closed field) is given in all the cases where it was not previously known (E7 and E8 in bad characteristic, F4 in characteristic 3). The paper exploits the tight relation with the corresponding situation over a finite field. A computer is used to study this case for suitable choices of the finite field.

AbstractLet G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with Lie algebra g. Then the orbits of nilpotent elements of g under the adjoint action of G have been classified. We describe a simple algorithm for finding a representative of a nilpotent orbit. We use this to compute lists of representatives of these orbits for the Lie algebras of exceptional type. Then we give two applications. The first one concerns settling a conjecture by Elashvili on the index of centralizers of nilpotent orbits, for the case where the Lie algebra is of exceptional type. The second deals with minimal dimensions of centralizers in centralizers.

We derive explicit formulae for the characteristics H(k) of the semiregular nilpotent orbits Dn(ak) of the simple complex Lie algebra [Formula: see text] of type Dn. These formulae express H(k) as an integral linear combination of a basis of the Cartan subalgebra [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text]. For that purpose we use several suitable bases of [Formula: see text] consisting of coroots. We also construct several explicit standard triples (E, H, F) with H = H(k), and E, F ∈ Dn(ak). Similar triples are constructed also for each connected component of the intersection of the orbit Dn(ak) with the split real form [Formula: see text] and the real form [Formula: see text] of [Formula: see text].
