A fixed point localization formula for the Fourier transform of regular semisimple coadjoint orbits (Q1888351)

Let \(G_{\mathbb{R}}\) be a real semisimple Lie group, possibly not compact. One of the most important examples of equivariantly closed forms is the symplectic volume form \(d\beta\) of a coadjoint orbit \(\Omega\). Even if \(\Omega\) is not compact, the integral \(\int_\Omega d\beta\) exists as a distribution on the Lie algebra \({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb{R}}\). This distribution is called the Fourier transform of the coadjoint orbit. In this paper, the author applies his localization results [J. Funct. Anal. 203, No. 1, 197--236 (2003; Zbl 1025.22012); J. Funct. Anal. 215, No. 1, 50--66 (2004; Zbl 1063.22014) and \textit{P. Delorme} et al. (ed.), Noncommutative harmonic analysis, Boston, MA: Birkhäuser, Progress in Mathematics 220, 375--393 (2004; Zbl 1058.22011)] to get a geometric derivation of Harish-Chandra's formula for the Fourier transform of regular semisimple coadjoint orbits. An explicit computation is made for the coadjoint orbits of elements of \({\mathfrak g}^*_{\mathbb{R}}\) which are dual to regular semisimple elements lying in a maximally split Cartan subalgebra of \({\mathfrak g}_{\mathbb{R}}\).
