Abstract

Abstract Let ( 𝔤 , [ p ] ) $(\mathfrak {g},[p])$ be a finite-dimensional restricted Lie algebra, defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The scheme of tori of maximal dimension of 𝔤 gives rise to a finite group S(𝔤) that coincides with the Weyl group of 𝔤 in case 𝔤 is a Lie algebra of classical type. In this paper, we compute the group S(𝔤) for Lie algebras of Cartan type and provide applications concerning weight space decompositions, the existence of generic tori and polynomial invariants.
