DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/atlas/14/">N
 ilpotent orbits and atlas</a>\nby David Vogan (MIT) as part of Real reduct
 ive groups/atlas\n\n\nAbstract\nLinear algebra wants to be about diagonal 
 matrices. Nilpotent matrices control exactly how this desire must be frust
 rated\, and what is actually true instead. In a precisely parallel way\, t
 he theory of reductive groups wants to be about maximal tori. Nilpotent cl
 asses (for example in the Lie algebra) control how this desire must be fru
 strated\, and what is actually true instead. The talk will concern what at
 las knows about nilpotent Lie algebra elements. The goal is to explain how
  this helps with the computation of Gelfand-Kirillov dimension.\n
