Abstract

Let g be a finite-dimensional simple Lie algebra of rank l over an algebraically closed field of characteristic 0. Let e be a nilpotent element of g and let q be the centraliser of e in g. In this paper we study the algebra S(q)^q of symmetric invariants of q. We prove that if g is of type A or C, then S(q)^q is always a graded polynomial algebra in l variables, and we show that this continues to hold for some nilpotent elements in the Lie algebras of other types. In type A we prove that the invariant algebra S(q)q is freely generated by a regular sequence in S(q) and describe the tangent cone at e to the nilpotent variety of g.
