Abstract

Let G be a compact Lie group with Lie algebra g. Let 0 ⊂ g* be an orbit of G under the coadjoint representation of maximal dimension 2n. For f ∈ 0, we denote by G(f) the stabilizer of f and t = ℊ(f) the Lie algebra of G(f). Let W be the Weyl group of (g, t). Recall that 0 is a symplectic manifold with a canonical 2-form σ.
