Spherical Nilpotent Orbits and the Kostant-sekiguchi Correspondence

چکیده
Let G be a connected, linear semisimple Lie group with Lie algebra g, and let KC → Aut(pC ) be the complexified isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. The Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence is a bijection between the nilpotent KC -orbits in pC and the nilpotent G-orbits in g. We show that this correspondence associates each spherical nilpotent KC -orbit to a nilpotent G-orbit that is multiplicity free as a Hamiltonian K-space. The converse also holds.

Complexity of Nilpotent Orbits and the Kostant-sekiguchi Correspondence
Let G be a connected linear semisimple Lie group with Lie algebra g, and let K C → Aut(p C ) be the complexified isotropy representation at the identity coset of the corresponding symmetric space. Suppose that Ω is a nilpotent G-orbit in g and O is the nilpotent K C -orbit in p C associated to Ω by the Kostant-Sekiguchi correspondence. We show that the complexity of O as a K C variety measures ...
متن کاملNilpotent Orbits and Theta-stable Parabolic Subalgebras
In this work, we present a new classification of nilpotent orbits in a real reductive Lie algebra g under the action of its adjoint group. Our classification generalizes the Bala-Carter classification of the nilpotent orbits of complex semisimple Lie algebras. Our theory takes full advantage of the work of Kostant and Rallis on pC , the “complex symmetric space associated with g”. The Kostant-S...
متن کاملMinimal coadjoint orbits and symplectic induction
Let (X,ω) be an integral symplectic manifold and let (L,∇) be a quantum line bundle, with connection, over X having ω as curvature. With this data one can define an induced symplectic manifold (X̃, ω X̃ ) where dim X̃ = 2 + dimX . It is then shown that prequantization on X becomes classical Poisson bracket on X̃ . We consider the possibility that if X is the coadjoint orbit of a Lie group K then X̃ ...
متن کاملThe Space of Bounded Spherical Functions on the Free Two Step Nilpotent Lie Group
Let N be a connected and simply connected 2-step nilpotent Lie group and K be a compact subgroup of Aut(N). We say that (K,N) is a Gelfand pair when the set of integrable K-invariant functions on N forms an abelian algebra under convolution. In this paper, we construct a one-to-one correspondence between the set ∆(K, N) of bounded spherical functions for such a Gelfand pair and a set A(K, N) of...
متن کاملRings of Regular Functions on Spherical Nilpotent Orbits for Complex Classical Groups
Let G be a classical group and let g be its Lie algebra. For a nilpotent element X E g, the ring R(Ox) of regular functions on the nilpotent orbit Ox is a Gmodule. In this thesis, we will decompose it into irreducible representations of G for some spherical nilpotent orbits. Thesis Supervisor: David Alexander Vogan Title: Professor of Mathematics
