Abstract: Let $G$ be a semisimple algebraic group with Lie algebra $mathfrakg$. For a nilpotent $G$-orbit $mathcalOsubsetmathfrakg$, let $d_{m}athcalO$ denote the maximal dimension of a subspace $Vsubsetmathfrakg$ that is contained in the closure of $mathcalO$. In this note, we prove that $d_{m}athcalOlefrac12dimmathcalO$ and this upper bound is attained if and only if $mathcalO$ is a Richardson orbit. Furthermore, if $V$ is $B$-stable and $dimV=frac12dimmathcalO$, then $V$ is the nilradical of a polarisation of $mathcalO$. Every nilpotent orbit closure has a distinguished $B$-stable subspace constructed via an $mathfrak{sl}_2$-triple, which is called the Dynkin ideal. We then characterise the nilpotent orbits $mathcalO$ such that the Dynkin ideal (1) has the minimal dimension among all $B$-stable subspaces $mathfrakc$ such that $mathfrakccapmathcalO$ is dense in $mathfrakc$, or (2) is the only $B$-stable subspace $mathfrakc$ such that $mathfrakccapmathcalO$ is dense in $mathfrakc$.
