Abstract

Let be a simple simply connected exceptional algebraic group of type G2, F4, E6 or E7 over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0 with g = Lie(G). For each nilpotent orbit G · e of g, we list the Jordan blocks of the action of on the minimal induced module Vmin of g. We also establish when the centralizers Gν of vectors ν ∈ Vmin and stabilizers StabG〈ν〉 of 1-spaces 〈ν〉 are ⊂ Vmin smooth; that is, when dim Gν = dim gν or dim StabG〈ν〉 = dim Stabg〈ν〉.
