Nilpotent Orbits and Group Actions on the Flag Variety (A Combinatorial Approach), Part A
Leticia Barchini and Nina Williams, A Duet, OSU
[Abstract] [PDF]
Abstract: We consider the pair of complex Lie groups $$(G, K) =\left(GL(p+q, \mathbb C), GL(p,\mathbb C)\times GL(q,\mathbb C)\right)$$ and the finite set $\{ \EuScript Q :\text{$K$-orbits on the flag variety } \mathfrak B \}$. The moment map, $\mu$, of the $G$-action on the cotangent bundle $T^*\mathfrak B$ maps each conormal bundle closure $\bar{T^*_{\EuScript Q} \mathfrak B}$ onto the closure of a single nilpotent $K$-orbit, $\mathcal O_K$. We use combinatorial techniques to describe $\mu^{-1}(\mathcal O_K) = \{\EuScript Q \in \mathfrak B : \mu(T_\EuScript Q^*\mathfrak B) = \mathcal O_K \}$.
