The modality of a Borel subgroup in a simple algebraic group of type E₈

Abstract: Let

G

be a simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field

k

, where

m a t h r m c h a r, k

is either 0 or a good prime for

G

. We consider the modality

m a t h r m m o d (B : m a t h f r a k u)

of the action of a Borel subgroup

B

of

G

on the Lie algebra

m a t h f r a k u

of the unipotent radical of

B

, and report on computer calculations used to show that

m a t h r m m o d (B : m a t h f r a k u) = 20

, when

G

is of type

m a t h r m E_{8}

. This completes the determination of the values for

m a t h r m m o d (B : m a t h f r a k u)

for

G

of exceptional type.
