Abstract. We define and study a family of partitions of the wonderful compactification G of
a semi-simple algebraic group G of adjoint type. The partitions are obtained from subgroups
of G × G associated to triples (A1, A2, a), where A1 and A2 are subgraphs of the Dynkin
graph of G and a: A1 A2 is an isomorphism. The partitions of G of Springer and Lusztig
correspond respectively to the triples (, , id) and (, , id).
Introduction
Let G be a connected semi-simple algebraic group over an algebraically closed field
