Review text

Let \(G\) be a group of Lie type over a field \(K\) and let \(U\) be the unipotent radical of a Borel subgroup of \(G\). The authors, [\textit{V.~M. Levchuk} and \textit{G.~S. Suleimanova}, Dokl. Math. 77, No. 2, 284-287 (2008); translation from Dokl. Akad. Nauk, Ross. Akad. Nauk 419, No. 5, 595-598 (2008; Zbl 1156.20037)], describe all maximal Abelian normal subgroups of \(U\) when \(G\) is of classical type.NEWLINENEWLINE In the present paper they complete the description for the remaining types (the descriptions are too complicated to give here). In particular, they give an alternative solution to the problem of classifying normal Abelian subgroups of \(U\) with simple corners which was considered by \textit{C. Parker} and \textit{P. Rowley} in a series of papers [culminating in Commun. Algebra 31, No. 7, 3471-3486 (2003; Zbl 1034.20043)]. In the case where \(K\) is finite the authors give a complete list of the normal Abelian subgroups of maximum order in \(U\) (Theorem 6.1); in particular, they conclude that the largest normal Abelian subgroups of \(U\) have the same size as the largest Abelian subgroups (Theorem 6.4).
