Let 𝔤 be a classical Lie algebra, i.e., either 𝔤𝔩 n , 𝔰𝔭 n , or 𝔰𝔬 n and let e be a nilpotent element of 𝔤. We study various properties of the centralisers 𝔤 e . The first four sections deal with rather elementary questions, like the centre of 𝔤 e , commuting varieties associated with 𝔤 e , or centralisers of commuting pairs. The second half of the paper addresses problems related to different Poisson structures on 𝔤 e * and symmetric invariants of 𝔤 e .

Soit 𝔤 une algèbre de Lie classique, i.e., 𝔤𝔩 n , 𝔰𝔭 n , ou 𝔰𝔬 n , et soit e un élément nilpotent de 𝔤. Nous étudions dans cet article diverses propriétés du centralisateur 𝔤 e de e. Les quatre premières sections concernent des problèmes assez élémentaires portant sur le centre de 𝔤 e , la variété commutante de 𝔤 e , ou encore les centralisateurs des paires commutantes. La seconde partie aborde des questions liées aux différentes structures de Poisson sur 𝔤 e * et aux invariants symétriques de 𝔤 e .
