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.
The purpose of this note is to show that the Orbit Conjecture of C. Benson, J. Jenkins, R. L. Lipsman and G. Ratcliff [BJLR1] is true. Another proof of that fact has been given by those authors in [BJLR2]. Their proof is based on their earlier results, announced together with the conjecture in [BJLR1]. We follow another path: using a geometric quantization result of Guillemin-Sternberg [G-S] we reduce the conjecture to a similar statement for a projective space, which is a special case of a characterization...
We show that the motive of the quotient of a scheme by a finite group coincides with the invariant submotive.
We prove that the well-known Harder-Narsimhan filtration theory for bundles over a complex curve and the theory of optimal destabilizing -parameter subgroups are the same thing when considered in the gauge theoretical framework.Indeed, the classical concepts of the GIT theory are still effective in this context and the Harder-Narasimhan filtration can be viewed as a limit object for the action of the gauge group, in the direction of an optimal destabilizing vector. This vector appears as an extremal...
