Let G be a semisimple algebraic group defined over an algebraically closed field K of good characteristic p >0. Let u be a unipotent element of G of order p t , for some t ∈ N. In this paper it is shown that u lies in a closed subgroup of G isomorphic to the it Witt group W t (K), which is a t ‐dimensional connected abelian unipotent algebraic group. 2000 Mathematics Subject Classification : 20G15.
