An extension of Rais' theorem and seaweed subalgebras of simple Lie algebras
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Volume 55 (2005) no. 3, pp. 693-715.

We prove an extension of Rais' theorem on the coadjoint representation of certain graded Lie algebras. As an application, we prove that, for the coadjoint representation of any seaweed subalgebra in a general linear or symplectic Lie algebra, there is a generic stabiliser and the field of invariants is rational. It is also shown that if the highest root of a simple Lie algerba is not fundamental, then there is a parabolic subalgebra whose coadjoint representation do not have a generic stabiliser.

Nous obtenons une extension d'un théorème de Rais sur la représentation coadjointe de certaines algèbres de Lie graduées. Comme application, nous démontrons que la représentation coadjointe d'une sous-algèbre spéciale dans une algèbre de Lie simple de type A ou C possède un stabilisateur générique, et que son corps des invariants est rationnel. Nous montrons aussi que si la plus grande racine d'une algèbre de Lie simple n'est pas un poids fondamental, alors il existe une sous-algèbre parabolique dont la représentation coadjointe n'admet pas de stabilisateur générique.
