Unipotent classes in the classical groups parameterized by subgroups

Group Theory 2008-05-08 v2

Abstract

This paper describes how to use subgroups to parameterize unipotent classes in the classical algebraic group in characteristic 2. These results can be viewed as an extension of the Bala-Carter Theorem, and give a convenient way to compare unipotent classes in a group GG with unipotent classes of a subgroup XX where GG is exceptional and XX is a Levi subgroup of classical type.
