Abstract

Let B be a Borel subgroup of a semisimple algebraic group G and let m be an abelian nilradical in b = Lie(B). Using subsets of strongly orthogonal roots in the subset of positive roots corresponding to m, D. Panyushev [1] gives in particular classification of B−orbits in m and m* and states general conjectures on the closure and dimensions of the B−orbits in both m and m* in terms of involutions of the Weyl group. Using Pyasetskii correspondence between B−orbits in m and m* he shows the equivalence of these two conjectures. In this Note we prove his conjecture in types Bn,Cn and Dn for adjoint case.
