Abstract We give a new characterization of Lusztig's canonical quotient, a finite group attached to each special nilpotent orbit of a complex semisimple Lie algebra. This group plays an important role in the classification of unipotent representations of finite groups of Lie type. We also define a duality map. To each pair of a nilpotent orbit and a conjugacy class in its fundamental group, the map assigns a nilpotent orbit in the Langlands dual Lie algebra. This map is surjective and is related to a map introduced by Lusztig (and studied by Spaltenstein). When the conjugacy class is trivial, our duality map is just the one studied by Spaltenstein and by Barbasch and Vogan which has an image of the set of special nilpotent orbits.

- Nilpotent orbits and codimension-two defects of 6d N=(2,0) theories (2012, methodology): “We will see that, when this happens, certain discrete groups C(ρ) 6= C(ρ′) introduced by Sommers and Achar [28, 29, 30] enter in the description of the Hitchin system, and affect the properties of the Coulomb branch.”
