We introduce a method to determine the maximum nilpotent orbit which intersects a variety of nilpotent matrices described by a strictly upper triangular matrix over a polynomial ring. We show that the result only depends on the ranks of its…

In this note we investigate the normality of closures of orthogonal and symplectic nilpotent orbits in positive characteristic. We prove that the closure of such a nilpotent orbit is normal provided that neither type d nor type e minimal…

We show that there is a consistent polynomial quantization of the coordinate ring of a basic nilpotent coadjoint orbit of a semisimple Lie group. We also show, at least in the case of a nilpotent orbit in sl(2,R)*, that any such…

We prove Yun's minimal reduction conjecture for all classical groups. More precisely, for any topologically nilpotent regular semisimple element $\gamma$, we show that the associated minimal reduction set…

Suppose that $G$ is a finite solvable group and $V$ is a finite, faithful and completely reducible $G$-module. Let $N$ be a nilpotent subgroup of $G$, then there exits $v \in V$ such that $|\bC_N(v)| \leq (|N|/p)^{1/p}$, where $p$ is the…

In this paper we study gradings on simple Lie algebras arising from nilpotent elements. Specifically, we investigate abelian subalgebras which are degree 1 homogeneous with respect to these gradings. We show that for each odd nilpotent…

We attach a Dixmier algebra B to the closure of any nilpotent orbit of G where G is GL(n,C), O(n,C) or Sp(2n,C). This algebra B is a noncommutative analog of the coordinate ring R of the orbit closure, in the sense that B has a G-invariant…

Let G be a real, connected, noncompact, semisimple Lie group, let K be a maximal compact subgroup of G, and let g=k+p be the corresponding Cartan decomposition of the complexified Lie algebra of G. Sequences of strongly orthogonal…

We prove that the set of closed orbits in a real reductive representation contains a subset which is open with respect to the real Zariski topology if it has non-empty interior. In particular the set of closed orbits is dense.

Motivated by geometric Langlands, we initiate a program to study the mirror symmetry between nilpotent orbit closures of a semisimple Lie algebra and those of its Langlands dual. The most interesting case is $B_n$ via $C_n$. Classically,…

We consider continuous extensions of minimal rotations on a locally connected compact group X by arbitrary locally compact Lie groups and prove regularity (i.e. the existence of orbit closures which project onto the whole basis X) in…

Consider the W-algebra $W$ attached to the smallest nilpotent orbit in a simple Lie algebra $\frak g$ over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. We show that if an analogue of the Gelfand-Kirillov conjecture holds for such a…

Let $M$ be a $G$-covering of a nilpotent orbit in $\g$ where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group and $\g=\text{Lie}(G)$. We prove that under Poisson bracket the space $R[2]$ of homogeneous functions on $M$ of degree 2 is the unique…

Let $G$ be a Lie group $G$ with representation $\rho$ on a real simple $G$-module $\mathbb{V}$. We will call the orbits of the induced action of $\rho$ on the projectivization $P\mathbb{V}$ the projective orbits, and projective orbits of…

A compatible nilpotent Leibniz algebra is a vector space equipped with two multiplication structures that interact in a certain natural way. This article presents the classification of these algebras with dimensions less than four, as well…

Let $G$ be a simple algebraic group with $\mathfrak g=Lie(G)$ and $\mathcal O\subset\mathfrak g$ a nilpotent orbit. If $H$ is a reductive subgroup of $G$ with $Lie(H)=\mathfrak h$, then $\mathfrak g=\mathfrak h\oplus\mathfrak m$, where…

This paper is about nilpotent orbits of reductive groups over local non-Archimedean fields. In this paper we will try to identify for which groups there are only finitely many nilpotent orbits, for which groups the nilpotent orbits are…
