Abstract

Let Sp2n(ℂ) be the symplectic group and [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.](ℂ) its Lie algebra. Let B be a Borel subgroup of Sp2n(ℂ), [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] = Lie(B) and [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] its nilradical. Let [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] be a subvariety of elements of square 0 in [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]: B acts adjointly on [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.]. In this paper we describe the topology of orbits [InlineMediaObject not available: see fulltext.] in terms of symmetric link patterns. Further, we apply this description to the computations of the closures of orbital varieties of nilpotency order 2 and to their intersections. In particular, we show that all the intersections of codimension 1 are irreducible.
