Abstract
Let be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field with Lie algebra . For unipotent elements and nilpotent elements , the Jordan block sizes of and are known in most cases. In the cases that remain, the group is of classical type in bad characteristic, so and is of type , , or . In this paper, we consider the case where is of type and . As our main result, we determine the Jordan block sizes of and for all unipotent and nilpotent . In the case where is of adjoint type, we will also describe the Jordan block sizes on .
