COADJOINT ORBITS FOR THE CENTRAL EXTENSION OF Diff^＋（S^1） AND THEIR REPRESENTATIVES

According to Kirillov′s idea, the irreducible unitary representations of a Liegroup G roughly correspond to the coadjoint orbits O. In the forward direction one ap-plies the methods of geometric quantization to produce a representation, and in the reversedirection one computes a transform of the character of a representation, to obtain a coad-joint orbit. The method of orbits in the representations of Lie groups suggests the detailedstudy of coadjoint orbits of a Lie group G in the space g* dual to the Lie algebra g of G.In this paper, two primary goals are achieved: one is to completely classify the smoothcoadjoint orbits of Virasoro group for nonzero central charge c; the other is to find repre-sentatives for coadjoint orbits. These questions have been considered previously by Segal,Kirillov, and Witten, but their results are not quite complete. To accomplish this, theauthors start by describing the coadjoint action of D-the Lie group of all orientation pre-serving diffeomorphisms on the circle S^1, and its central extension D~, then the authors willgive a complete classification of smooth coadjoint orbits. In fact, they can be parameterizedby a subspace Of conjugacy classes of PSU~(1,1). Finally, the authors will show how to findrepresentatives of coadjoint orbits by analyzing the vector fields stabilizing the orbits, anddescribe the amazing connection between the characteristic (trace) of conjugacy classes of PSU~(1, 1) and that of vector fields stabilizing orbits.     

Unitary Representations and Coadjoint Orbits for a Group of Germs of Real Analytic Diffeomorphisms

The method of coadjoint orbits is developed for the group of real analytic germs of diffeomorphisms φ with φ(0) = 0 and φ′(0) = 1. The form of all infinite dimensional coadjoint orbits is described. Classes U of unitary representations are constructed. In the case n = 2 these representations are related to coadjoint orbits.     

Adjoint and Coadjoint Orbits of the Poincaré Group

In this paper we give an effective method for finding a unique representative of each orbit of the adjoint and coadjoint action of the real affine orthogonal group on its Lie algebra. In both cases there are orbits which have a modulus that is different from the usual invariants for orthogonal groups. We find an unexplained bijection between adjoint and coadjoint orbits. As a special case, we classify the adjoint and coadjoint orbits of the Poincaré group.The author (R.C) was partially supported by European Community funding for the Research and Training Network MASIE (HPRN-CT-2000-00113).     

The restricted Grassmannian, Banach Lie-Poisson spaces, and coadjoint orbits

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, and the underlying Banach space can be chosen to be even a Hilbert space. Smoothness of numerous adjoint and coadjoint orbits of the restricted unitary group is also established. Several pathological properties of the restricted algebra are pointed out.     

On a Lagrangian Formulation of the Incompressible Euler Equation

In this paper we show that the incompressible Euler equation on the Sobolev space $H^s(\mathbb{R}^n), s › n ⁄ 2+1$, can be expressed in Lagrangian coordinates as a geodesic equation on an infinite dimensional manifold. Moreover the Christoffel map describing the geodesic equation is real analytic. The dynamics in Lagrangian coordinates is described on the group of volume preserving diffeomorphisms, which is an analytic submanifold of the whole diffeomorphism group. Furthermore it is shown that a Sobolev class vector field integrates to a curve on the diffeomorphism group.     

A bijection between the adjoint and coadjoint orbits of a semidirect product

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 theory to the examples of the affine group and the Poincaré group, and discuss the limitations and extent of this result to other groups.     

Integration of Geodesic Flows on Homogeneous Spaces: The Case of a Wild Lie Group

We obtain necessary and sufficient conditions for the integrability in quadratures of geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces M with invariant and central metrics. The proposed integration algorithm consists in using a special canonical transformation in the space T ^* M based on constructing the canonical coordinates on the orbits of the coadjoint representation and on the simplectic sheets of the Poisson algebra of invariant functions. This algorithm is applicable to integrating geodesic flows on homogeneous spaces of a wild Lie group.     

Construction of invariants of the coadjoint representation of Lie groups using linear algebra methods

We offer a method for constructing invariants of the coadjoint representation of Lie groups that reduces this problem to known problems of linear algebra. This method is based on passing to symplectic coordinates on the coadjoint representation orbits, which play the role of local coordinates on those orbits. The corresponding transition functions are their parametric equations. Eliminating the symplectic coordinates from the transition functions, we can obtain the complete set of invariants. The proposed method allows solving the problem of constructing invariants of the coadjoint representation for Lie groups with an arbitrary dimension and structure.     

Petrovskii elliptic systems in the extended Sobolev scale

Petrovskii elliptic systems of linear differential equations given on a closed smooth manifold are investigated in the extended Sobolev scale. This scale consists of all Hilbert spaces that are interpolation spaces with respect to the Hilbert Sobolev scale. Theorems of solvability of the elliptic systems in the extended Sobolev scale are proved. An a priori estimate for solutions is obtained, and their local regularity is studied.     

Two-body problem on spaces of constant curvature: I. Dependence of the Hamiltonian on the symmetry group and the reduction of the classical system

We consider the problem of two bodies with central interaction that propagate in a simply connected space with a constant curvature and an arbitrary dimension. We obtain the explicit expression for the quantum Hamiltonian via the radial differential operator and generators of the isometry group of a configuration space. We describe the reduced classical mechanical system determined on the homogeneous space of a Lie group in terms of orbits of the coadjoint representation of this group. We describe the reduced classical two-body problem. Translated from Teoreticheskaya i Matematicheskaya Fizika, Vol. 124, No. 2, pp. 249–264, August, 2000.     

Identities and Invariant Operators on Homogeneous Spaces

We study identities (functional relations between the generators of the transformation group) and also algebras of invariant operators on homogeneous spaces using the method of orbits of the coadjoint representation (coadjoint orbits). This method permits establishing the relation between these two objects and elaborating an algorithm for their construction. A classification of homogeneous spaces is introduced based on the coadjoint orbit method.     

On the images of Sobolev spaces under the heat kernel transform on the Heisenberg group

The aim of this paper is to obtain certain characterizations for the image of a Sobolev space on the Heisenberg group under the heat kernel transform. We give three types of characterizations for the image of a Sobolev space of positive order $H^m(\mathbb {H}^n), m\in \mathbb {N}^n,$ under the heat kernel transform on $\mathbb {H}^n,$ using direct sum and direct integral of Bergmann spaces and certain unitary representations of $\mathbb {H}^n$ which can be realized on the Hilbert space of Hilbert‐Schmidt operators on $L^2(\mathbb {R}^n).$ We also show that the image of Sobolev space of negative order $H^{-s}(\mathbb {H}^n), s(>0) \in \mathbb {R}$ is a direct sum of two weighted Bergman spaces. Finally, we try to obtain some pointwise estimates for the functions in the image of Schwartz class on $\mathbb {H}^n$ under the heat kernel transform.     

Completely integrable systems of the KdV type related to isospectral periodic regular difference operators

Completely integrable KdV systems are described on coadjoint orbits, which are isospectral classes of periodic regular difference operators. The finite zone solutions for some field equations are then obtained if the equations are written on a jet bundle of maps with values in a Lie group and if the orbits are truncated invariantly with regard to the group action.

A new interpretation for the mass of a classical relativistic particle

Based on a recent classification of coadjoint orbits of the full Poincaré group, we give a new group theoretic interpretation for the mass of a classical relativistic particle.     

Weyl–Pedersen calculus for some semidirect products of nilpotent Lie groups

For certain nilpotent real Lie groups constructed as semidirect products, algebras of invariant differential operators on some coadjoint orbits are used in the study of boundedness properties of the Weyl–Pedersen calculus of their corresponding unitary irreducible representations. Our main result is applicable to all unitary irreducible representations of arbitrary 3-step nilpotent Lie groups.     

Toric moment mappings and Riemannian structures

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 describe so-called intrinsic torsion varieties of Riemannian structures on the Iwasawa manifold.     

Coadjoint orbits of the group UT(7, <Emphasis Type="Italic">K</Emphasis>)

We classify the irreducible representations and the coadjoint orbits of a unitriangular group of size less than or equal to seven. We classify the subregular orbits of a unitriangular group of arbitrary size. Translated from Fundamentalnaya i Prikladnaya Matematika, Vol. 13, No. 5, pp. 127–159, 2007.     

Orthogonal subsets of classical root systems and coadjoint orbits of unipotent groups

We consider a specific class of coadjoint orbits of maximal unipotent subgroups in classical groups over a finite field; namely, orbits associated with orthogonal subsets in root systems. We derive a formula for the dimension of these orbits in terms of the Weyl group and construct polarizations for canonical forms on the orbits. As a consequence, we describe all possible dimensions of irreducible representations of such unipotent groups.     

Quantum Hamiltonian Systems on K-Orbits: Semiclassical Spectrum of the Asymmetric Top

We consider equations on Lie groups and classical and quantum Hamiltonian systems on coadjoint representation orbits. We show that the transition to canonical coordinates on orbits of the coadjoint representation allows constructing semiclassical solutions and the corresponding spectra of quantum equations such that all the symmetries of the original problem are preserved. Our method is used to find the semiclassical spectrum of the asymmetric quantum top.
