Abstract

In the paper "The Second cohomology of nilpotent orbits in classical Lie algebras, Kyoto J. Math. 60 (2020), no. 2, 717-799" by I. Biswas, P. Chatterjee and C. Maity homotopy types of nilpotent orbits are explicitly described in the case of real simple classical Lie algebras for which any maximal compact subgroup in the associated adjoint group is not semisimple. In this paper we extend the above description of homotopy type of nilpotent orbits to the remaining cases of real simple classical Lie algebras for which any maximal compact subgroup in the associated adjoint group is semisimple.
