โฆ Synopsis
The adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra is studied. A simple formula is conjectured for the number of semisimple orbits of a given split genus. This conjecture is proved for type A, and partial results are obtained for other types. For type A a probabilistic interpretation is given in terms of card shuffling.

Random walk on the chambers of hyperplane arrangements is used to define a family of card shuffling measures H W x for a finite Coxeter group W and real x = 0. By algebraic group theory, there is a map from the semisimple orbits of the adjoint action of a finite group of Lie type on its Lie algebra
