Nilpotent Orbits in Representation Theory

  • Chapter
Book cover Lie Theory

Part of the book series: Progress in Mathematics ((PM,volume 228))

Abstract

The term “nilpotent orbits” in the title is an abbreviation for “orbits consisting of nilpotent elements.” We shall consider here such orbits only for the adjoint action of a reductive algebraic group on its Lie algebra.
