Orthogonal subsets of classical root systems and coadjoint orbits of unipotent groups

Let $Φ$ be a classical root system and $k$ be a field of sufficiently large characteristic. Let $G$ be the classical group over $k$ with the root system $Φ$, $U$ be its maximal unipotent subgroup and $\mathfrak{u}$ be the Lie algebra of $U$. Let $D$ be an orthogonal subset of $Φ$ and $Ω$ be a coadjoint orbit of $U$ associated with $D$. We construct a polarization of $\mathfrak{u}$ at the canonical form on $Ω$. We also find the dimension of $Ω$ in terms of the Weyl group of $Φ$. As a corollary, we determine all possible dimensions of irreducible complex represenations of the group $U$ for the case of finite field $k$.
