In this article, we give a simple explicit construction of an affine slice for the coadjoint action of a certain class of biparabolic (also called seaweed) subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. In particular, this class includes all Borel subalgebras.
Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a solvable Lie algebra and $Q$ an $ad \mathfrak{g}$-stable prime ideal of the symmetric algebra $S(\mathfrak{g})$ of $\mathfrak{g}$. If $E$ is the set of non zero elements of $S(\mathfrak{g})/Q$ which are eigenvectors for the adjoint action of $\mathfrak{g}$ in $S(\mathfrak{g})/Q$, the localised algebra $(S(\mathfrak{g})/Q)_{E}$ has a natural structure of Poisson algebra. We study this algebra here.
We give an upper bound for the index of certain Lie algebras, called of seaweed type, introduced by V. Dergachev, A. Kirillov and D. Panyushev. We deduce from this a conjecture of D. Panyushev stated in "Inductive formulas for the index of seaweed Lie algebra, Moscow Math. Journal (2001) 221-241". We conjecture that our upper bound gives in fact a formula for the index of such Lie algebras, and we prove it in certain cases. Finally, we obtain a result concerning the index of parabolic subalgebras of a semisimple Lie algebra.
We characterize, in a purely algebraic manner, certain linear forms, called stable, on a Lie algebra. As an application, we determine the index of a Borel subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra. Finally, we give an example of a parabolic subalgebra of a semi-simple Lie algebra which does not admit any stable linear form.
