Abstract

We classify the sheets and the rigid nilpotent orbits in reductive Lie algebras over fields of good characteristic and show that the distribution of nilpotent orbits amongst the sheets remains the same as in the characteristic zero case. We use GAP to determine the reachable and strongly reachable nilpotent orbits in all characteristics and provide some information on derived subalgebras of centralisers.
