On intersections of conjugacy classes and Bruhat cells

For a connected complex semi-simple Lie group $G$ and a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we determine when the intersection of a conjugacy class $C$ in $G$ and a double coset $BwB^-$ is non-empty, where $w$ is in the Weyl group $W$ of $G$. The question comes from Poisson geometry, and our answer is in terms of the Bruhat order on $W$ and an involution $\mc \in W$ associated to $C$. We study properties of the elements $\mc$. For $G = SL(n+1, \Cset)$, we describe $\mc$ explicitly for every conjugacy class $C$, and for the case when $w \in W$ is an involution, we also give an explicit answer to when $C \cap (BwB)$ is non-empty.

On intersections of certain partitions of a group compactification

Let $G$ be a connected semi-simple algebraic group of adjoint type over an algebraically closed field, and let $\overline{G}$ be the wonderful compactification of $G$. For a fixed pair $(B, B^-)$ of opposite Borel subgroups of $G$, we look at intersections of Lusztig's $G$-stable pieces and the $B^-\times B$-orbits in $\overline{G}$, as well as intersections of $B \times B$-orbits and $B^- \times B^-$-orbits in $\overline{G}$. We give explicit conditions for such intersections to be non-empty, and in each case, we show that every non-empty intersection is smooth and irreducible, that the closure of the intersection is equal to the intersection of the closures, and that the non-empty intersections form a strongly admissible partition of $\overline{G}$.

A note on Poisson homogeneous spaces

We identify the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid of a Poisson homogeneous space G/H of a Poisson Lie group G as a quotient of a transformation Lie algebroid over G. As applications, we describe the modular vector fields of G/H, and we identify the Poisson cohomology of G/H with coefficients in powers of its canonical line bundle with relative Lie algebra cohomology of the Drinfeld Lie algebra associated to G/H. We also construct a Poisson groupoid over G/H which is symplectic near the identity section. This note serves as preparation for forthcoming papers, in which we will compute explicitly the Poisson cohomology and study their symplectic groupoids for certain examples of Poisson homogeneous spaces related to semi-simple Lie groups.

Poisson geometry of the Grothendieck resolution of a complex semisimple group

We study a Poisson structure $π$ on the Grothendieck resolution $X$ of a complex semi-simple group $G$ and prove that the desingularization map $μ:(X,π) \to (G,π_0)$ is Poisson, where $π_0$ is a Poisson structure such that intersections of conjugacy classes and opposite Bruhat cells $BwB_-$ are Poisson subvarieties. We compute the symplectic leaves of $X$ and show that $(X, π)$ resolves singularities of $(G, π_0)$.

Group orbits and regular partitions of Poisson manifolds

We study a large class of Poisson manifolds, derived from Manin triples, for which we construct explicit partitions into regular Poisson submanifolds by intersecting certain group orbits. Examples include all varieties ${\mathcal L}$ of Lagrangian subalgebras of reductive quadratic Lie algebras $\d$ with Poisson structures defined by Lagrangian splittings of $\d$. In the special case of $\g \oplus \g$, where $\g$ is a complex semi-simple Lie algebra, we explicitly compute the ranks of the Poisson structures on ${\mathcal L}$ defined by arbitrary Lagrangian splittings of ${\mathfrak g} \oplus {\mathfrak g}$. Such Lagrangian splittings have been classified by P. Delorme, and they contain the Belavin--Drinfeld splittings as special cases.

Partitions of the wonderful group compactification

We define and study a family of partitions of the wonderful compactification \bar{G} of a semi-simple algebraic group G of adjoint type. The partitions are obtained from subgroups of G \times G associated to triples (A_1, A_2, a), where A_1 and A_2 are subgraphs of the Dynkin graph Γof G and a : A_1 \to A_2 is an isomorphism. The partitions of \bar{G} of Springer and Lusztig correspond respectively to the triples (\emptyset, \emptyset, \id) and (Γ, Γ, \id).

On the variety of Lagrangian subalgebras, II

When ${\frak g}$ is a complex semisimple Lie algebra, we study the variety ${\mathcal L}$ of subalgebras of ${\frak g}\oplus{\frak g}$ that are maximally isotropic with respect to $K_1 - K_2$, where $K_i$ is the Killing form on the ith factor. We show the irreducible components of ${\mathcal L}$ are smooth, classify them in terms of the generalized Belavin-Drinfeld triples introduced by Schiffmann, and relate them to orbits of the adjoint group $G\times G$. Building on ideas of Yakimov, we give a new proof of Karolinsky's classification of the diagonal $G$-orbits in ${\mathcal L}$. Our proof enables us to compute of the normalizer in ${\frak g}$ of a subalgebra in ${\mathcal L}$ under the diagonal action. As a consequence, we recover the classification of Belavin-Drinfeld triples. By results of math.DG/9909005, ${\mathcal L}$ is a Poisson variety and we determine the rank of the symplectic leaf at each point of ${\mathcal L}$ in terms of combinatorial data and relate the symplectic leaves to intersections of orbits of subgroups of $G\times G$. As a consequence, an intrinsically defined Poisson structure on each conjugacy class on $G$ has an open symplectic leaf and we determine the rank at each point of the conjugacy class.

On a class of double cosets in reductive algebraic groups

We study a class of double coset spaces R_A \backslash G_1 \times G_2 /R_C, where G_1 and G_2 are connected reductive algebraic groups, and R_A and R_C are certain spherical subgroups of G_1 \times G_2 obtained by ``identifying'' Levi factors of parabolic subgroups in G_1 and G_2. Such double cosets naturally appear in the symplectic leaf decompositions of Poisson homogeneous spaces of complex reductive groups with the Belavin-Drinfeld Poisson structures. They also appear in orbit decompositions of the De Concini-Procesi compactifications of semi-simple groups of adjoint type. We find explicit parametrizations of the double coset spaces and describe the double cosets as homogeneous spaces of R_A \times R_C. We further show that all such double cosets give rise to set-theoretical solutions to the quantum Yang-Baxter equation on unipotent algebraic groups.

Thompson's conjecture for real semi-simple Lie groups

A proof of Thompson's conjecture for real semi-simple Lie groups has been given by Kapovich, Millson, and Leeb. In this note, we give another proof of the conjecture by using a theorem of Alekseev, Meinrenken, and Woodward from symplectic geometry.

A Poisson structure on compact symmetric spaces

We present some basic results on a natural Poisson structure on any compact symmetric space. The symplectic leaves of this structure are related to the orbits of the corresponding real semisimple group on the complex flag manifold.

Poisson structures on complex flag manifolds associated with real forms

For a complex semi-simple group G and its real form G0 we define a Poisson structure on the flag variety of G such that all the Bruhat cells (for a suitable choice of a Borel subgroup of G) as well as all the G0-orbits are Poisson submanifolds. We show that each intersection of a G0-orbit with a Bruhat cell is a regular Poisson submanifold and we compute the dimensions of its symplectic leaves.

On the variety of Lagrangian subalgebras

We study Lagrangian subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra with respect to the imaginary part of the Killing form. We show that the variety $\Lagr$ of Lagrangian subalgebras carries a natural Poisson structure $Π$. We determine the irreducible components of $\Lagr$, and we show that each irreducible component is a smooth fiber bundle over a generalized flag variety, and that the fiber is the product of the real points of a De Concini-Procesi compactification and a compact homogeneous space. We study some properties of the Poisson structure $Π$ and show that it contains many interesting Poisson submanifolds.

Classical dynamical r-matrices and homogeneous Poisson structures on $G/H$ and $K/T$

Let G be a finite dimensional simple complex group equipped with the standard Poisson Lie group structure. We show that all G-homogeneous (holomorphic) Poisson structures on $G/H$, where $H \subset G$ is a Cartan subgroup, come from solutions to the Classical Dynamical Yang-Baxter equations which are classified by Etingof and Varchenko. A similar result holds for the maximal compact subgroup K, and we get a family of K-homogeneous Poisson structures on $K/T$, where $T = K \cap H$ is a maximal torus of K. This family exhausts all K-homogeneous Poisson structures on $K/T$ up to isomorphisms. We study some Poisson geometrical properties of members of this family such as their symplectic leaves, their modular classes, and the moment maps for the T-action.

Poisson harmonic forms, Kostant harmonic forms, and the $S^1$-equivariant cohomology of $K/T$

We characterize the harmonic forms on a flag manifold $K/T$ defined by Kostant in 1963 in terms of a Poisson structure. Namely, they are ``Poisson harmonic" with respect to the so-called Bruhat Poisson structure on $K/T$. This enables us to give Poisson geometrical proofs of many of the special properties of these harmonic forms. In particular, we construct explicit representatives for the Schubert basis of the $S^1$-equivariant cohomology of $K/T$, where the $S^1$-action is defined by $ρ$. Using a simple argument in equivariant cohomology, we recover the connection between the Kostant harmonic forms and the Schubert calculus on $K/T$ that was found by Kostant and Kumar in 1986. We also show that the Kostant harmonic forms are limits of the more familiar Hodge harmonic forms with respect to a family of Hermitian metrics.

Coordinates on Schubert cells, Kostant's harmonic forms, and the Bruhat-Poisson structure on $G/B$

We relate Kostant's theorem on the cohomology of a flag manifold $G/B$ with the geometry of the Bruhat-Poisson structure. We express Kostant's harmonic forms in terms of the moment maps (for the torus action) and the Liouville volume forms for the symplectic structures on the Schubert cells induced by the Bruhat-Poisson structure. We do this by writing everything down explicitly in some coordinates on each cell.

Transverse measures, the modular class, and a cohomology pairing for Lie algebroids

We show that every Lie algebroid $A$ over a manifold $P$ has a natural representation on the line bundle $Q_A = \wedge^{top}A \otimes \wedge^{top} T^*P$. The line bundle $Q_A$ may be viewed as the Lie algebroid analog of the orientation bundle in topology, and sections of $Q_A$ may be viewed as transverse measures to $A$. As a consequence, there is a well-defined class in the first Lie algebroid cohomology $H^1(A)$ called the modular class of the Lie algebroid $A$. This is the same as the one introduced earlier by Weinstein using the Poisson structure on $A^*$. We show that there is a natural pairing between the Lie algebroid cohomology spaces of $A$ with trivial coefficients and with coefficients in $Q_A$. This generalizes the pairing used in the Poincare duality of finite-dimensional Lie algebra cohomology. The case of holomorphic Lie algebroids is also discussed, where the existence of the modular class is connected with the Chern class of the line bundle $Q_A$.

Hopf algebroids and quantum groupoids

We introduce the notion of Hopf algebroids, in which neither the total algebras nor the base algebras are required to be commutative. We give a class of Hopf algebroids associated to module algebras of the Drinfeld doubles of Hopf algebras when the $R$-matrices act properly. When this construction is applied to quantum groups, we get examples of quantum groupoids, which are semi-classical limits of Poisson groupoids. The example of quantum $sl(2)$ is worked out in details.

Lie Algebroids Associated to Poisson Actions

This work is motivated by a result of Drinfeld on Poisson homogeneous spaces. For each Poisson manifold $P$ with a Poisson action by a Poisson Lie group $G$, we describe a Lie algebroid structure on the direct sum vector bundle $P \times {\frak g} \oplus T^*P$, where ${\frak g}$ is the Lie algebra of $G$. It is built out of the transformation Lie algebroid $P \times {\frak g}$ and the cotangent bundle Lie algebroid $T^*P$ together with a pair of representations of them on each other. When the action of $G$ on $P$ is transitive, the kernel of the anchor map of this Lie algebroid gives a Lie algebra bundle over $P$, the fibers of which are given by Drinfeld. As applications, we describe the symplectic leaves and the $G$-invariant Poisson cohomology of Poisson homogeneous $G$-spaces.
