This thesis studies the symplectic structure of holomorphic coadjoint orbits, and their projections. A holomorphic coadjoint orbit O is an elliptic coadjoint orbit which is endowed with a natural invariant Kählerian structure. These coadjoint orbits are defined for a real semi-simple connected non-compact Lie group G w…

This paper describes two real analytic symplectomorphisms defined on appropriate dense open subsets of any coadjoint orbit of a compact semisimple Lie algebra. The first symplectomorphism sends the open dense subset to a bounded subset of a standard cotangent bundle. The second symplectomorphism has target a bounded su…

We study the geometrical structure of the coadjoint orbits of an arbitrary complex or real Lie algebra ${\mathfrak g}$ containing some ideal ${\mathfrak n}$. It is shown that any coadjoint orbit in ${\mathfrak g}^*$ is a bundle with the affine subspace of ${\mathfrak g}^*$ as its fibre. This fibre is an isotropic subma…

The paper classifies foliations formed by generic coadjoint orbits of specific Lie groups.

For a complex Lie group $G$ with a real form $G_0\subset G$, we prove that any Hamiltionian automorphism $φ$ of a coadjoint orbit $\mathcal O_0$ of $G_0$ whose connected components are simply connected, may be approximated by holomorphic $\mathcal O_0$-invariant symplectic automorphism of the corresponding coadjoint or…

We study the general geometrical structure of the coadjoint orbits of a semidirect product formed by a Lie group and a representation of this group on a vector space. The use of symplectic induction methods gives new insight into the structure of these orbits. In fact, each coadjoint orbit of such a group is obtained b…

The main goal of this paper is to compute the characteristic class of the Alekseev-Lachowska *-product on coadjoint orbits. We deduce an analogue of the Weyl dimension formula in the context of deformation quantization.

We apply the Guillemin-Lerman-Sternberg theorem to reprove a formula of Heckman for the Duistermaat-Heckman measure associated to the coadjoint action of $T$, a maximal torus of a compact semisimple Lie group $G$, on a regular coadjoint $G$-orbit in the dual space of the Lie algebra of $G$. This formula is, in an appro…

Coadjoint orbits for the group SO(6) parametrize Riemannian G-reductions in six dimensions, and we use this correspondence to interpret symplectic fibrations between these orbits, and to analyse moment polytopes associated to the standard Hamiltonian torus action on the coadjoint orbits. The theory is then applied to d…

We study the adjoint and coadjoint representations of a class of Lie group including the Euclidean group. Despite the fact that these representations are not in general isomorphic, we show that there is a geometrically defined bijection between the sets of adjoint and coadjoint orbits of such groups. In addition, we sh…

A Poisson-Lie group acting by the coadjoint action on the dual of its Lie algebra induces on it a non-trivial class of quadratic Poisson structures extending the linear Poisson bracket on the coadjoint orbits.

We give an identification of the triple reduced product of three coadjoint orbits in SU(3) with a space of Hitchin pairs over a genus 0 curve with three punctures, where the residues of the Higgs field at the punctures are constrained to lie in fixed coadjoint orbits. Using spectral curves for the corresponding Hitchin…

The study examines Kähler structures on coadjoint orbits of Lie groups using coherent and squeezed states.

A nonlinear flag is a finite sequence of nested closed submanifolds. We study the geometry of Frechet manifolds of nonlinear flags, in this way generalizing the nonlinear Grassmannians. As an application we describe a class of coadjoint orbits of the group of Hamiltonian diffeomorphisms that consist of nested symplecti…

Constructs infinite-dimensional Siegel disc as symplectic and Kaehler quotient.

Let G_R be a Lie group acting on an oriented manifold M, and let $ω$ be an equivariantly closed form on M. If both G_R and M are compact, then the integral $\int_M ω$ is given by the fixed point integral localization formula (Theorem 7.11 in [BGV]). Unfortunately, this formula fails when the acting Lie group G_R is not…

We prove that there exists a geometric bijection between the sets of adjoint and coadjoint orbits of a semidirect product, provided a similar bijection holds for particular subgroups. We also show that under certain conditions the homotopy types of any two orbits in bijection with each other are the same. We apply our …

For a given manifold $M$ we consider the non-linear Grassmann manifold $Gr_n(M)$ of $n$-dimensional submanifolds in $M$. A closed $(n+2)$-form on $M$ gives rise to a closed 2-form on $Gr_n(M)$. If the original form was integral, the 2-form will be the curvature of a principal $S^1$-bundle over $Gr_n(M)$. Using this $S^…

Gauge theory connects hyperbolic metrics to Virasoro orbits, revealing their geometric and topological properties.

For a Lie groupoid $\mathcal{G}$ with Lie algebroid $A$, we realize the symplectic leaves of the Lie-Poisson structure on $A^*$ as orbits of the affine coadjoint action of the Lie groupoid $\mathcal{J}\mathcal{G}\ltimes T^*M$ on $A^*$, which coincide with the groupoid orbits of the symplectic groupoid $T^*\mathcal{G}$ …

Dual pairs constructed for volume preserving diffeomorphisms using symplectic geometry.

We investigate some basic questions concerning the relationship between the restricted Grassmannian and the theory of Banach Lie-Poisson spaces. By using universal central extensions of Lie algebras, we find that the restricted Grassmannian is symplectomorphic to symplectic leaves in certain Banach Lie-Poisson spaces, …

We show that the leaves of an LA-groupoid which pass through the unit manifold are, modulo a connectedness issue, Lie groupoids. We illustrate this phenomenon by considering the cotangent Lie algebroids of Poisson groupoids thus obtaining an interesting class of symplectic groupoids coming from their symplectic foliati…

The coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups carry many Kähler structures, which include a Riemannian metric and a complex structure. We provide a fairly explicit formula for the Levi-Civita connection of the Riemannian metric, and we use the complex structure to give a fairly explicit construction of a canonical Dirac o…

The goal of this diploma thesis is to give a detailed description of Kirillov's Orbit Method for the case of compact connected Lie groups. The theory of Kirillov aims at finding all irreducible unitary representations of a given Lie group $G$. The first chapter is intended to recall some facts about Lie groups. The mos…

We propose a reduction procedure for symplectic connections with symmetry. This is applied to coadjoint orbits whose isotropy is reductive.

Semisimple (co)adjoint orbits through real hyperbolic elements are well-known to be symplectomorphic to cotangent bundles. We provide a new proof of this fact based on elementary results on both Lie theory and symplectic geometry. Our proof establishes a new connection between the Iwasawa horospherical projection and t…

We prove that Hamiltonian characteristic classes defined as fibre integrals of powers of the coupling class are algebraically independent for generic coadjoint orbits.

Via a non degenerate symmetric bilinear form we identify the coadjoint representation with a new representation and so we induce on the orbits a simplectic form. By considering Hamiltonian systems on the orbits we study some features of them and finally find commuting functions under the corresponding Lie-Poisson brack…
