Abstract

Let U be the unipotent radical of a Borel subgroup of a connected reductive algebraic group G, which is defined over an algebraically closed field k. In this paper, we extend work by Goodwin and Röhrle concerning the commuting variety of Lie(U) for Char(k) = 0 to fields whose characteristic is good for G.
