Abstract

Let g\mathfrak{g} be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra of rank \ell over an algebraically closed field k\Bbbk of characteristic zero, and let (e,h,f)(e,h,f) be an sl2\mathfrak{sl}_2-triple of g. Denote by ge\mathfrak{g}^{e} the centralizer of ee in g\mathfrak{g} and by S(ge)ge{\rm S}(\mathfrak{g}^{e})^{\mathfrak{g}^{e}} the algebra of symmetric invariants of ge\mathfrak{g}^{e}. We say that ee is good if the nullvariety of some \ell homogenous elements of S(ge)ge{\rm S}(\mathfrak{g}^{e})^{\mathfrak{g}^{e}} in (ge)(\mathfrak{g}^{e})^{*} has codimension \ell. If ee is good then S(ge)ge{\rm S}(\mathfrak{g}^{e})^{\mathfrak{g}^{e}} is a polynomial algebra. In this paper, we prove that the converse of the main result of arXiv:1309.6993 is true. Namely, we prove that ee is good if and only if for some homogenous generating sequence q1,,qq_1,\ldots,q_\ell, the initial homogenous components of their restrictions to e+gfe+\mathfrak{g}^{f} are algebraically independent over k\Bbbk.
