Cyclic elements in semisimple lie algebras

We develop a theory of cyclic elements in semisimple Lie algebras. This notion was introduced by Kostant, who associated a cyclic element with the principal nilpotent and proved that it is regular semisimple. In particular, we classfiy all nilpotents giving rise to semisimple and regular semisimple...
