Semisimple cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras (Q2670679): Difference between revisions

Consider a semisimple Lie algebra \(g\) over an algebraically closed field of characteristic \(0\). Let \(e\) be a nilpotent element and take an eigenspace \(g_d\) of \(\text{ad }e\). An element of \(g\) of the form \(e+F\), where \(F\) is a non-zero element of \(g_{-d}\), is called a cyclic element, associated to \(e\). A non-zero nilpotent element \(e\) of \(g\) is called of nilpotent (resp. semisimple) type if all cyclic elements, associated to \(e\), are nilpotent (resp. there exists a semisimple cyclic element, associated to \(e\)). In [\textit{A. G. Elashvili} et al., Transform. Groups 18, No. 1, 97--130 (2013; Zbl 1329.17007)] nilpotent element of nilpotent type were studied. In the present paper the main result is ``the classification of semisimple cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras.''
