Abstract

Let G be a connected reductive group defined over the finite field 픽 q , and let

be its Lie algebra. Let F: GG be the corresponding Frobenius endomorphism and write also

for the induced Frobenius map on

. We are concerned here with the space

of Ad G F—invariant functions:

. Let

be the nilpotent variety of
