Abstract: It is known that nilpotent orbits in a complex simple Lie algebra admit hyperK"ahler metrics with a single function that is a global potential for each of the K"ahler structures (a hyperK"ahler potential). In an earlier paper the authors showed that nilpotent orbits in classical Lie algebras can be constructed as finite-dimensional hyperK"ahler quotient of a flat vector space. This paper uses that quotient construction to compute hyperK"ahler potentials explicitly for orbits of elements with small Jordan blocks. It is seen that the K"ahler potentials of Biquard and Gauduchon for SL(n)-orbits of elements with X^2=0, are in fact hyperK"ahler potentials.

Review text

A hyperkähler manifold admits three anticommuting complex structures \(I,J,K\) and a metric \(g\) which is Kähler for \(I,J,K\). Examples are nilpotent adjoint orbits in a classical complex simple Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}_\mathbb{C}\). For such an orbit there exists a single function \(\rho\) which is a potential for all three structures \(I,J,K\) and \(g\). The authors compute such a hyper-Kähler potential explicitly for nilpotent orbits of cohomogeneity one and two. Here the cohomogeneity of an orbit \({\mathcal O}\) is defined to be the cohomogeneity of \({\mathcal O}\) under the action of the compact group \(G\) whose Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}\) is a compact real form of \({\mathfrak g}_\mathbb{C}\).
