Pure Appl. Algebra 206, 123--140 (2006; Zbl 1106.20036)], \\textit{G. McNinch} proved the following result: Let \\(X\\) and \\(Y\\) be two commuting nilpotent elements of a semisimple Lie algebra \\(\\mathfrak g=\\text{Lie}\\;G\\) over an algebraically closed field \\(k\\) of characteristic zero. Then for all but finitely many points \\((a:b)\\in\\mathbb P^1_k\\), both \\(X\\) and \\(Y\\) belong to the Lie algebra \\((\\mathfrak g_{aX+bY})^u\\) of the uniponent radical of the centralizer of \\(aX+bY\\) in \\(\\mathfrak g\\). In the first part of this note, the author gives a short alternative proof of this statement, which uses a result of \\textit{A. Premet} from [Invent. Math. 154, 653--683 (2003; Zbl 1068.17006)].   The second part of this paper is devoted to self-large nilpotent elements in \\(\\mathfrak g\\). By definition, a nilpotent element is self-large if its \\(G\\)-orbit \\(G\\cdot e\\) is the largest nilpotent orbit meeting its stabilizer \\(\\mathfrak g_e\\). The characterization of such elements provided by the author is as follows. Let \\(\\{e,f,h\\}\\) be an \\(\\mathfrak{sl}_2\\)-triple containing \\(e\\), and let \\(\\mathfrak g_e=\\bigoplus_{i\\geq 0}\\mathfrak g_e(i)\\) be the grading determined by \\(h\\). Then \\(e\\) is self-large iff \\(\\mathfrak g_e(0)\\) is the Lie algebra of a torus and \\(\\mathfrak g_e(1)=0\\).","citation":[{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q4863383"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q3315671"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q5328216"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2491737"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q2387398"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1434291"},{"@id":"https://portal.mardi4nfdi.de/entity/Q1142811"}]},"provenance":{"prov:generatedAtTime":"2026-01-13T15:07:23Z","prov:wasAttributedTo":"MaRDI Knowledge Graph"}}
