Finite, tame, and wild actions of parabolic subgroups in $$\text{GL}(V)$$ on certain unipotent subgroups. (English) Zbl 0968.20023
A parabolic subgroup of $$\text{GL}(V)$$ is the stabilizer of a (possibly incomplete) flag of subspaces of $$V$$. If $$P$$ is such a parabolic subgroup, the authors study the action of $$P$$ on the Lie algebra of its unipotent radical and more generally on the $$l$$-th term of the descending central series. They characterize the cases where this action has a finite number of orbits.
The proof relies on seeing the orbits as isomorphism classes of some category, which is then shown to be equivalent to a category of modules over an algebra.
