Isotropic foliations of coadjoint orbits from the Iwasawa decomposition (Q376292)

In the present paper, the author investigates the interplay between the Iwasawa decomposition and the Kirillov symplectic structure. Let \(G\) be a noncompact real semisimple Lie group. The set of regular coadjoint orbits of \(G\) can be partitioned according to a finite set of types. The author shows that on each regular orbit, the Iwasawa decomposition induces a left-invariant foliation which is isotropic with respect to the Kirillov symplectic form. Moreover, the leaves are affine subspaces of the dual of the Lie algebra and the dimension of the leaves depends only on the type of the orbit. The author establishes, also, that when \(G\) is a split real form, the foliations induced from the Iwasawa decomposition are actually Lagrangian fibrations with a global transverse Lagrangian section.
