These are the adjoint orbits of a complex semisimple group lying in the nilpotent cone. Nilpotent orbits arise in algebraic geometry, symplectic geometry, and representation theory.

Examples of Richardson orbit closures not having a symplectic resolution?

Just adding a reference to the literature where this question seems to have cropped up : "Calculating canonical distinguished involutions in the affine Weyl groups" - Chmutova, Ostrik (pdf) They ph …

Differential of the adjoint quotient map

My question is regarding a paper by R.W Richardson titled "Derivatives of invariant polynomials on a semisimple Lie Algebra" ** . In this paper, he reports on computations of the rank of the different …

Kazhdan Lusztig map and Richardson orbits

This is a very nice line of thinking! But I think the question, as stated, is imprecise. As is correctly pointed out in the question, the KL map takes you from nilpotent orbits in $\mathfrak{g}$ to …

Affine analog of the theory of sheets

In the study of adjoint orbits in a complex semi-simple lie algebra, there is a well known object known as a "sheet". These are the irreducible components of the union of orbits of the same dimension. …
