The Canonical Component of the nilfibre for Parabolic adjoint action in type $A$
Abstract
This work is a continuation of [Fittouhi and Joseph, Parabolic adjoint action, Weierstrass Sections and components of the nilfibre in type ]. Let be a parabolic subgroup of an irreducible simple algebraic group , its derived group and be the nilradical to its Lie algebra. A theorem of Richardson implies that the subalgebra , spanned by the semi-invariants in , is polynomial. A linear subvariety of is is called a Weierstrass section for the action of on , if the restriction map induces an isomorphism of onto . Thus a Weierstrass section can exist only if the latter is polynomial, but even when this holds its existence is far from assured. The existence of a Weierstrass section in was established by a general combinatorial construction. Notably and is a sum of root vectors with linearly independent roots. The Weierstraass section looks very different for different choices of parabolics but nevertheless has a uniform construction and exists in all cases. It is called the "canonical Weierstrass section". It was announced in [Fittouhi and Joseph, loc. cit.] that one may augment to an element by adjoining root vectors. Then the linear span of these root vectors lies in and its closure is just . Yet this result shows that need not admit a dense orbit. However this theorem was only verified in the special case needed to obtain the example showing that may fail to admit a dense orbit. Here a general proof is given. Finally a map from compositions to the set of distinct non-negative integers is defined. Its image is shown to determine the canonical Weierstrass section.
