Let \(G\) be a reductive algebraic group over an algebraically closed field \(k\) of characteristic \(p>0\), and assume \(p\) is good for \(G\). Let \(P\) be a parabolic subgroup with unipotent radical \(U\). For \(r\geq 1\), denote by \(\mathbf G_{a(r)}\) the \(r\)-th Frobenius kernel of the additive group \(\mathbf G_a\). The author proves that if the nilpotence class of \(U\) is less than \(p\), then any embedding of \(\mathbf G_{a(r)}\) in \(U\) lies inside a one-parameter subgroup of \(U\), and there is a canonical way in which to choose such a subgroup. So if \(p\) is at least as big as the Coxeter number of \(G\), then the cohomological variety of \(G_{(r)}\) is homeomorphic to the variety of \(r\)-tuples of commuting elements in the \([p]\)-nilpotent cone of \(\text{Lie}(G)\).
