Orbits of Lagrangian subalgebras of the double \(\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R})\) (Q5956149)

A Poisson-Lie group \(G\) admits a tangent Lie bialgebra which is a Lie algebra structure on \(D(\mathfrak g)=\mathfrak g\oplus\mathfrak g^*\) invariant w.r.t. the invariant inner product. The variety \(\Lambda_a\) of Lagrangian subalgebras of \(D(\mathfrak g)\) admits a natural action of \(G\). In view of a theorem of Drinfeld this construction provides a classifying space for Poisson homogeneous spaces. In this paper the irreducible components and the orbit structure of \(\Lambda_a\) for an arbitrary bialgebra structure on \(\mathfrak g=sl(2,\mathbb R)\) are determined. The orbit decomposition is related to a natural stratification according to the possible dimensions of intersections of Lagrangian subspaces. This stratification is described at the beginning of the paper.
