This paper investigates the conjugacy classes of centralizers in solvable algebraic groups. In the context of algebraic group theory, the centralizer of an element in a group is the set of elements that commute with it, and its conjugacy class is the set of all centralizers related by group conjugation. The study focuses on characterizing these conjugacy classes within solvable algebraic groups, which are groups that have a series of subgroups where each is normal in the next, and their quotient groups are abelian. The paper explores the structure and properties of these centralizers and their implications for the broader theory of algebraic groups, providing insights into the behavior of solvable groups and their centralizers.
