| May 6, 2013 at 21:48 | comment | added | JM Landsberg | I'm not sure this will help, but 1. may be rephrased geometrically as: among all complex simple Lie algebras, sl_n, n>2, is the unique series such that the orbit of a highest weight line X in P(g) is such that the tangent space T_{Id}X is reducible (as a module for the stabilizing parabolic), and 2. may be phrased geometrically as: sl_n is the unique case where there is a G-invariant cubic hypersurface in P(g), as the form in 2. is completely symmetric. | |

Changed "one" to "all but one"

| May 6, 2013 at 17:02 | comment | added | Terry Tao | Perhaps "perpendicular to" should be replaced by "perpendicular to all but"? | |
| May 6, 2013 at 16:01 | comment | added | Jim Humphreys | @Allen: At first sight Theorem 1 doesn't seem to make sense as stated. Am I missing something? | |
