Abstract
Let be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let be the wonderful compactification of . For a fixed pair of opposite Borel subgroups of , we look at intersections of Lusztig's -stable pieces and the -orbits in , as well as intersections of -orbits and -orbits in . We give explicit conditions for such intersections to be non-empty, and in each case, we show that every non-empty intersection is smooth and irreducible, that the closure of the intersection is equal to the intersection of the closures, and that the non-empty intersections form a strongly admissible partition of .
