Convexity properties of gradient maps

We consider the action of a real reductive group G on a Kaehler manifold Z which is the restriction of a holomorphic action of the complexified group G^C. We assume that the induced action of a compatible maximal compact subgroup U of G^C on Z is Hamiltonian. We have an associated gradient map obtained from a Cartan decomposition of G. For a G-stable subset Y of Z we consider convexity properties of the intersection of the image of Y under the gradient map with a closed Weyl chamber. Our main result is a Convexity Theorem for real semi-algebraic subsets Y of the projective space corresponding to a unitary representation of U.

Level dynamics and the ten-fold way

We investigate the parameter dynamics of eigenvalues of Hamiltonians ('level dynamics') defined on symmetric spaces relevant for condensed matter and particle physics. In particular we: 1) identify appropriate reduced manifold on which the motion takes place, 2) identify the correct Poisson structure ensuring the Hamiltonian character of the reduced dynamics, 3) determine the canonical measure on the reduced space, 4) calculate the resulting eigenvalue density.

The extended future tube conjecture for SO(1,n)

Let C be the open upper light cone in $\mathbb R^{1+n}$ with respect to the Lorentz product. The connected linear Lorentz group SO$_\mathbb R(1,n)^0$ acts on C and therefore diagonally on the N-fold product $T^N$ where $T = \mathbb R^{1+n} + iC \subset \mathbb C^{1+n}$. We prove that the extended future tube SO$_\mathbb C(1,n) \cdot T^N$ is a domain of holomorphy.
