Abstract Let G be a simple linear algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic p ≥ 0 and let ϕ nontrivial -restricted irreducible representation . T maximal torus s ϵ We say that is Ad - regular if α ( ) ≠ β for all distinct -roots Our main result states but one the eigenvalues are multiplicity 1 then, with few specified exceptions, Ad-regular. This can viewed as...
