Lie theory and the Chern–Weil homomorphism
Linearization of Poisson actions and singular values of matrix products
We prove that the linearization functor from the category of Hamiltonian -actions with group-valued moment maps in the sense of Lu, to the category of ordinary Hamiltonian - actions, preserves products up to symplectic isomorphism. As an application, we give a new proof of the Thompson conjecture on singular values of matrix products and extend this result to the case of real matrices. We give a formula for the Liouville volume of these spaces and obtain from it a hyperbolic version of the Duflo...
