Abstract

Let 𝕜 be an algebraically closed field of characteristic p > 2, let n ∈ ℤ>0, and take G to be one of the classical algebraic groups GL_n(𝕜), SL_n(𝕜), Sp_n(𝕜), O_n(𝕜) or SO_n(𝕜), with 𝔤 = Lie G. We determine the maximal G-stable closed subvariety V of the nilpotent cone N of 𝔤 such that the G-orbits in V are in bijection with the G-orbits of 𝔰𝔩₂-triples (e, h, f) with e, f ∈ V. This result determines to what extent the theorems of Jacobson–Morozov and Kostant on 𝔰𝔩₂-triples hold for classical algebraic groups over an algebraically closed field of “small” odd characteristic.
