The commuting variety of a reductive Lie algebra ${\goth g}$ is the underlying variety of a well defined subscheme of $\gg g{}$. In this note, it is proved that this scheme is normal. In particular, its ideal of definition is a prime ideal.

Let U(g,e) be the finite W-algebra associated with a nilpotent element e in a simple Lie algebra g and assume that e is induced from a nilpotent element e_0 in a Levi subalgebra l of g. We show that if the finite W-algebra U(l,e_0) has a…

Let $\g$ be simple Lie algebra. We give a conceptual proof for the fact that the nilpotent orbits of height 3 are spherical. It is shown that if the highest root of $\g$ is fundamental, then $\g$ has a specific nilpotent orbit of height 3.…

Let $\FRAK{g}$ be a classical simple Lie superalgebra. To every nilpotent orbit $\cal O$ in $\FRAK{g}_0$ we associate a Clifford algebra over the field of rational functions on $\cal O$. We find the rank, $k(\cal O)$ of the bilinear form…

We say that a hypercomplex nilpotent Lie algebra is $\mathbb{H}$-solvable if there exists a sequence of $\mathbb{H}$-invariant subalgebras $\mathfrak{g}_1^{ \mathbb{H}}\supset\mathfrak{g}_2^{…

We give the number of nilpotent orbits in the Lie algebras of orthogonal groups under the adjoint action of the groups over $\tF_{2^n}$. Let $G$ be an adjoint algebraic group of type $B,C$ or $D$ defined over an algebraically closed field…

Let g = Lie(G) be the Lie algebra of a simple algebraic group G over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Let e be a nilpotent element of g and let g_e = Lie(G_e) where G_e stands for the stabiliser of e in G. For g classical,…

We consider the finite $W$-algebra $U(\g,e)$ associated to a nilpotent element $e \in \g$ in a simple complex Lie algebra $\g$ of exceptional type. Using presentations obtained through an algorithm based on the PBW-theorem, we verify a…

We investigate the commuting automorphisms of nilpotent Lie algebras $L$ with coclass $\leq 3$. Our examination exposes the conditions under which the set of commuting automorphisms of $L$ forms a subgroup within its automorphism group.
