Abstract
Let be a nilpotent ideal in the Borel subalgebra of a complex finite-dimensional semisimple Lie algebra, and the subset of (ad-)nilpotent elements in such that is the minimal ideal containing them. This set is stable under the adjoint action of the corresponding Borel subgroup . We prove that contains a unique closed -orbit which is the orbit of a nilpotent element whose support is the set of minimal roots associated to the root space decomposition of .
