Equivariant realizations of Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type (Q2114148): Difference between revisions

A Hermitian symmetric space is a Riemannian symmetric space equipped with a Kähler structure such that the geodesic symmetry at any point is holomorphic. The authors view a Hermitian symmetric space \(M\) as a homogeneous space \(G/K\) associated with a Cartan involution on a connected Lie group \(G\), and consider realizations of a Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type (HSSNT for short) in a vector space of the same dimension. It is known that any \(2n\)-dimensional HSSNT \(M\) is a simply-connected, complete Riemannian manifold of nonpositive sectional curvature, and thus it is diffeomorphic to \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\). It is also known that \(M\) is realized as a bounded domain \(D\) in \(\mathbb{C}^n\) as a complex manifold, and the Harish-Chandra realization is widely known as a canonical construction of the holomorphic diffeomorphism between \(M\) and \(D\). \(M\) can also be regarded as the standard symplectic vector space \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) as a symplectic manifold. A canonical symplectomorphism from \(M\) to \(\mathbb{R}^{2n}\) is given by the Di Scala-Loi-Roos realization. The aim of the present paper is to describe the above realizations in a unified framework based on the Lie theory, and discuss common properties of these maps. The authors provide a way of constructing \(K\)-equivariant embeddings from \(M\) to its tangent space \(T_oM\) at the origin by using the polarity of the \(K\)-action. As an application, they reconstruct the \(K\)-equivariant holomorphic embedding so called the Harish-Chandra realization and the \(K\)-equivariant symplectomorphism constructed by Di Scala-Loi and Roos under appropriate identifications of spaces. Moreover, they characterize the holomorphic/symplectic embedding of \(M\) by means of the polarity of the \(K\)-action. Furthermore, they show a special class of totally geodesic submanifolds in \(M\) is realized as either linear subspaces or bounded domains of linear subspaces in \(T_oM\) by the \(K\)-equivariant embeddings. They also construct a \(K\)-equivariant holomorphic/symplectic embedding of an open dense subset of the compact dual \(M^*\) into its tangent space at the origin as a dual of the holomorphic/symplectic embedding of \(M\).
