Abstract
Let be the -dimensional Witt algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . Let be the nilpotent variety of , and the nilpotent commuting variety of . As an analogue of Premet's result in the case of classical Lie algebras [A. Premet, Nilpotent commuting varieties of reductive Lie algebras. Invent. Math., 154, 653-683, 2003.], we show that the variety is reducible and equidimensional. Irreducible components of and their dimension are precisely given. Furthermore, the nilpotent commuting varieties of Borel subalgebras are also determined.
