Review text

Let \(P\) be a parabolic subgroup of a reductive algebraic group \(G\). By a theorem of R. W. Richardson, the adjoint action of \(P\) on its unipotent radical \(P_u\) admits a dense orbit. But the number of \(P\)-orbits in \(P_u\) is in general not finite. For example, if \(P=B\) is a Borel subgroup of \(G\), then due to V. Kashin there are only finitely many \(B\)-orbits in \(B_u\) if and only if \(G\) is of type \(A_1\), \(A_2\), \(A_3\), \(A_4\) or \(B_2\). Now let \(P\) be a parabolic subgroup of \(G\) of semisimple rank one. The main result of the paper is that in this case, \(P_u\) has only finitely many \(P\)-orbits if and only if \(G\) is of type \(A_n\) for \(n\leq5\), \(B_2\), \(B_3\), \(C_3\), \(D_4\) or \(G_2\). For the entire collection see [Zbl 0857.00012].
