Abstract: | Let F be an algebraically closed field. Let V be a vector space equipped with a non-degenerate symmetric or symplectic bilinear form B over F. Suppose the characteristic of F is sufficiently large , i.e. either zero or greater than the dimension of V. Let I(V,B) denote the group of isometries. Using the Jacobson–Morozov lemma we give a new and simple proof of the fact that two elements in I(V,B) are conjugate if and only if they have the same elementary divisors. |
