Lie algebras of linear algebraic groups (17B45)

Abstract: The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of split semisimple orbits of a given genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are obtained for other types. For type A a probabilistic interpretation is given in terms of card shuffling.

Review text

The author studies the adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra and proposes a conjecture for the number of semisimple orbits of a given split genus. Then he proves the conjecture for type \(A\) and obtains partial results for other types.
