On SL(2)-actions without 3-dimensional orbits
We continue investigations that are concerned with the complexity of nilpotent orbits in semisimple Lie algebras. We give a characterization of the spherical nilpotent orbits in terms of minimal Levi subalgebras intersecting them. This provides a kind of canonical form for such orbits. A description minimal non-spherical orbits in all simple Lie algebras is obtained. The theory developed for the adjoint representation is then extended to Vinberg’s -groups. This yields a description of spherical...
For a symmetric (= invariant under the action of a compact Lie group G) semialgebraic basic set C, described by s polynomial inequalities, we show, that C can also be written by s + 1 G-invariant polynomials. We also describe orbit spaces for the action of G by a number of inequalities only depending on the structure of G.
We show that the motive of the quotient of a scheme by a finite group coincides with the invariant submotive.
