Let $\\N$ be the nilpotent cone of $\\ggg$. Explicit description of $\\N$ is given, so that the conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras of $\\ggg$ under the automorphism group are determined. In contrast with only one conjugacy class of Borel subalgebras in a classical simple Lie algebra, there are two conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras in $\\ggg$. The representatives of conjugacy classes of Borel subalgebras, i.e., the so-called standard Borel subalgebras, are precisely given.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2012-12-18T13:44:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "conjugacy classes", "standard borel subalgebras", "dimensional witt algebra", "classical simple lie algebra", "nilpotent cone" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 13, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2012arXiv1212.4349Y" } } }
