B-stable ideals in the nilradical of a Borel subalgebra

Abstract

We count the number of strictly positive $B$-stable ideals in the nilradical of a Borel subalgebra and prove that the minimal roots of any $B$-stable ideal are conjugate by an element of the Weyl group to a subset of the simple roots. We also compute the number of ideals whose minimal roots are conjugate to a fixed subset of simple roots.

We correct the lemmas in Section 3 in the earlier version
