Why do most eigenspaces of a Lie algebra automorphism have finitely many orbits?

I'm interested in understanding the following lemma, which Vogan states (Lemma 4.8) in his paper The Local Langlands Conjecture (omitting the "well-known" proof). Suppose $G$ is a complex ...

Moduli space of nilpotent Lie algebras

Fix a nilpotent Lie algebra $L$ over some char 0 field $k$ which is naturally graded, i. e. isomorphic to graded algebra $\bar L$ associated to lower central filtration. I'm interested in some ...

A criterion for orbits of complex reductive group to be closed

I am having some trouble understanding Nakajima's proof of the Kempf-Ness theorem in [1]. At the end (proof of Proposition 3.9(6)), his argument is basically the following: Let $G=K_{\Bbb C}$ be a ...

degrees of the invariants for the action of $SL(V)$ on $\wedge^4V$

How can we find the degrees of the invariants for the action of $SL(V)$ on $\wedge^4V$ , $dimV=8$ by the model in the Lie algebra $E_7$.
