Structure of the Coadjoint Orbits of Lie Algebras
Journal of Lie theory, Tome 22 (2012) no. 1, pp. 251-268
We study the geometrical structure of the coadjoint orbits of an arbitrary complex or real Lie algebra g containing some ideal n. It is shown that any coadjoint orbit in g* is a bundle with the affine subspace of g* as its fibre. This fibre is an isotropic submanifold of the orbit and is defined only by the coadjoint representations of the Lie algebras g and n on the dual space n*. The use of this fact gives a new insight into the structure of coadjoint orbits and allows us to generalize results derived earlier in the case when g is a semidirect product with an Abelian ideal n. As an application, a necessary condition of integrality of a coadjoint orbit is obtained.
