Abstract: This paper describes how to use subgroups to parameterize unipotent classes in the classical algebraic group in characteristic 2. These results can be viewed as an extension of the Bala-Carter Theorem, and give a convenient way to compare unipotent classes in a group $G$ with unipotent classes of a subgroup $X$ where $G$ is exceptional and $X$ is a Levi subgroup of classical type.

Review text

This paper describes how to use subgroups to parameterize unipotent classes in the classical algebraic groups in characteristic 2. These results can be viewed as an extension of the Bala-Carter theorem, and they give a convenient way to compare unipotent classes in a group \(G\) with unipotent classes of a subgroup \(X\) where \(G\) is exceptional and \(X\) is a Levi subgroup of classical type.
