Abstract
Let G be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic 2. We consider analogues of the Jacobson-Morozov theorem in this setting. More precisely, we classify those nilpotent elements with a simple 3-dimensional Lie overalgebra in and also those with overalgebras isomorphic to the algebras and . This leads us to calculate the dimension of Lie automiser for all nilpotent orbits; in even characteristic this quantity is very sensitive to isogeny.
