Complex adjoint orbits in Lie theory and geometry (Q2323326)

This article is an introduction to complex adjoint orbits in algebraic geometry, Lie theory and geometric representation theory. It is accessible to a wide mathematical audience. It requires only introductory algebraic geometry and Lie theory as prerequisite and it builds a reasonably self-contained foundation for more advanced topics in which complex adjoint orbits play a role (hyperkähler geometry, Landau-Ginzburg models, and symplectic singularities). It also gives some new proofs.
