1. Introduction. Throughout this paper, G is a connected linear algebraic group over an algebraically closed field whose characteristic is denoted p. For any closed subgroup H of G, denotes the Lie algebra of H and H0 denotes the connected component of the identity of H.

A Borel subalgebra of is the Lie algebra of some Borel subgroup B of G. A maximal torus of is the Lie algebra of some maximal torus T of G. In [4], it is shown that the maximal tori of are the maximal commutative subalgebras of consisting of semisimple elements, and the question was raised in § 14.3 as to whether the set of Borel subalgebras of is the set of maximal triangulable subalgebras of .
