Abstract

We provide an alternative description of the restriction to spherical unipotent conjugacy classes, of Lusztig's map Ψ from the set of unipotent conjugacy classes in a connected reductive algebraic group to the set of conjugacy classes of its Weyl group. For irreducible root systems, we analyze the image of this restricted map and we prove that a conjugacy class in a finite Weyl group has a unique maximal length element if and only if it has a maximum.
