Abstract
We give an upper bound for the essential dimension of a smooth unipotent algebraic group over an arbitrary field. We also show that over a field k which is finitely generated over a perfect field, a smooth unipotent algebraic k-group is of essential dimension 0 if and only if it is k-split.
