Nilpotent Orbits in Semisimple Lie Algebra: An Introduction

By William M. McGovern and David H. Collingwood

This book collects important results concerning the classification and properties of nilpotent orbits in a Lie algebra. It develops the Dynkin-Kostant and Bala-Carter classifications of complex nilpotent orbits and derives the Lusztig-Spaltenstein theory of induction of nilpotent orbits.
