Good index behaviour of $\theta$-representations, I
Abstract
Let be an algebraic group with and a -module. The index of is the minimal codimension of the -orbits in the dual space . There is a general inequality, due to Vinberg, relating the index of and the index of a -module for . A pair is said to have GIB if Vinberg's inequality turns into an equality for all . In this article, we are interested in the GIB property of -representations, where is a finite order automorphism of a simple Lie algebra . An automorphism of order defines a -grading . If is the identity component of , then it acts on and this action is called a -representation. We classify inner automorphisms of and all finite order autmorphisms of the exceptional Lie algebras such that has GIB and contains a semisimple element.
