چکیده
Recently, V.Ginzburg introduced the notion of a principal nilpotent pair (= pn-pair) in a semisimple Lie algebra g [Gi99]. It is a double counterpart of the notion of a regular nilpotent element in g. A pair e = (e1, e2) ∈ g × g is called nilpotent, if [e1, e2] = 0 and there exists a pair h = (h1, h2) of semisimple elements such that [h1, h2] = 0, [hi, ej ] = δijej (i, j ∈ {1, 2}). A pn-pair e is a nilpotent pair such that the simultaneous centralizer zg(e) is of dimension rk g. Note that, by a theorem of R.Richardson, rk g is the least possible value for this dimension. Evident similarity between the “double” and “ordinary” theory is manifestly seen in the following results of [Gi99]: zg(h) is a Cartan subalgebra; the eigenvalues of adh1 and adh2 are integral; both e1 and e2 are Richardson elements; ZG(e) is a connected Abelian unipotent group; ZG(e) acts transitively on the set of semisimple pairs satisfying the above commutator relations. Excerpts from Ginzburg’s theory, which by no means exhaust [Gi99], are presented in section 1.

This is the first of a series of papers devoted to certain pairs of commuting nilpotent elements in a semisimple Lie algebra that enjoy quite remarkable properties and which are expected to play a major role in Representation theory. The properties of these pairs and their role is similar to those of the principal nilpotents. To any principal nilpotent pair we associate a two-parameter analogue...

We investigate the possibility to measure the nonforward gluon distribution function by means of diffractively produced π+π− and K+K− pairs in polarized lepton nucleon scattering. The resulting cross sections are small and are dominated by the gluonic contribution. We find relatively large spin asymmetries, both for π+π− and for K+K− pairs. PACS. 12.38.-t, 13.60.-r, 13.60.Le
متن کاملNilpotent Orbits and Complex Dual Pairs
τ(w)(x) = 〈x(w), w〉, w ∈ W, x ∈ g ⊆ End(W ), and similarly for τ ′. Our main theorem describes the behaviour of closures of nilpotent orbits under the action of moment maps. It is easy to see that for a nilpotent coadjoint orbit O ⊆ g∗ the set τ ′(τ−1(O)) is the union of nilpotent coadjoint orbits in g′. It turns out that it is a closure of a single orbit: Theorem 1.1 Let O ⊆ g∗ be a nilpotent ...
متن کاملTheta Lifting of Nilpotent Orbits for Symmetric Pairs
We consider a reductive dual pair (G,G′) in the stable range with G′ the smaller member and of Hermitian symmetric type. We study the theta lifting of nilpotent K ′ C-orbits, where K ′ is a maximal compact subgroup of G′ and we describe the precise KC-module structure of the regular function ring of the closure of the lifted nilpotent orbit of the symmetric pair (G,K). As an application, we pro...
