Distinguished Orbits and the L-s Category of Simply Connected Compact Lie Groups
نویسندگان
چکیده
We show that the Lusternik-Schnirelmann category of a simple, simply connected, compact Lie group G is bounded above by the sum of the relative categories of certain distinguished conjugacy classes in G corresponding to the vertices of the fundamental alcove for the action of the affine Weyl group on the Lie algebra of a maximal torus of G.

Let be a differentiable action of a Lie group on a differentiable manifold and consider the orbit space with the quotient topology. Dimension of is called the cohomogeneity of the action of on .

In this paper we suppo...
متن کاملOn a Theorem of Montgomery and Samelson
In their paper on fibrations with singularities Montgomery and Samelson showed that if a compact connected Lie group acts differentiably and effectively on a sphere and if there is one stationary point, then the remaining orbits cannot all be of the same dimension [2]. In our note we will examine transformation groups in which all orbits have the same dimension. As a corollary, we shall extend ...
متن کاملTwisted Conjugacy Classes, Coadjoint Orbits of Loop Groups, and D-branes in the Wzw Model Stephan Mohrdieck and Robert Wendt
We show that untwisted respectively twisted conjugacy classes of a compact and simply connected Lie group which satisfy a certain integrality condition correspond naturally to irreducible highest weight representations of the corresponding affine Lie algebra. Along the way, we review the classification of twisted conjugacy classes of a simply connected compact Lie group G and give a description...
متن کاملSome Two–Step and Three–Step Nilpotent Lie Groups with Small Automorphism Groups
We construct examples of two-step and three-step nilpotent Lie groups whose automorphism groups are “small” in the sense of either not having a dense orbit for the action on the Lie group, or being nilpotent (the latter being stronger). From the results we also get new examples of compact manifolds covered by two-step simply connected nilpotent Lie groups which do not admit Anosov automorphisms...
متن کاملOn cohomogeneity one nonsimply connected 7-manifolds of constant positive curvature
In this paper, we give a classification of non simply connected seven dimensional Reimannian manifolds of constant positive curvature which admit irreducible cohomogeneity-one actions. We characterize the acting groups and describe the orbits. The first and second homo-topy groups of the orbits have been presented as well.
