Abstract
Let be a quasi-simple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field and a Borel subgroup of acting on the nilradical of its Lie algebra via the Adjoint representation. It is known that has only finitely many orbits in only five cases: when is of type for , and when is type . In this paper, we elaborate on this work in the case when (type by finding the polynomial defining equations of each orbit. We use these equations to determine the dimension of the orbits and the closure ordering on the set of orbits. The other four cases, when is type , can be approached the same way and are treated in a separate paper.
