Symplectic connections on the fiberings of regular orbits under the adjoint representations of simple Lie groups (Q679499)

The paper gives a negative answer to V. I. Arnold's question whether there can exist a flat symplectic connection (identical at infinity) on the fibering of regular orbits under the adjoint representation of the group \(SL(n,\mathbb{C})\). Here a connection on the above fibering \(p\) is called identical at infinity if the extension of the connection to the fibering \(p_\infty\) with spherical fibers, considered as values of the initial fibers at infinity, is an identical connection. The author shows that \(p_\infty\) is nontrivial for simple Lie groups of types \(A_n\), \(B_n\), \(C_n\) and \(D_n\) with \(n>1\), and so they have no identical connections at all. For \(n=1\), a flat connection, identical at infinity, as requested in Arnold's question, does exist in all four above cases. The author also constructs a natural flat symplectic connection for all group types under consideration that is not identical at infinity.
