Conjecture on radical maximal subalgebras of type E_8 in characteristic five
Conjecture on radical maximal subalgebras of type E_8 in characteristic five
Let be an algebraic group of type with Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic . Let be a maximal subalgebra with nonzero radical, and let denote the maximal subalgebra defined in Theorem 4.3. The classification conjecture. Every such is either conjugate to under the adjoint action of , is the Lie algebra of a maximal parabolic subgroup of , or is the centraliser of a toral element . In the last case, and is semisimple of type . This proposes a complete description of maximal subalgebras with nonzero radical in this case; the statement is presented as a conjecture, with no resolution supplied in the source.
