Pseudo-Kählerian structure on domains over a complex semisimple Lie group (Q697380)

Suppose \(G\) is a complex semisimple Lie group with \( G^{\mathbb R} \subset G \) a real form. There is a bi-action of \( G^{\mathbb R} \times G^{\mathbb R} \) on \(G\) given by \[ (g_{1} ,g_{2}), x \mapsto g_{1} xg_{2} ^{-1} . \] The orbits of this action may be given a CR-structure, which is described in terms of root spaces. The author constructs covering spaces of the principal strata in \(G,\) with a bi-invariant form \( \tau \). \(\omega = d\tau \) is nondegenerate and pseudo-Kählerian. The moment map is described. The author does a very good job of situating this work in a larger context. The most general formulation of his objective is to understand the complex-geometric properties of bi-invariant domains in \(G.\) It also forms part of a program in representation theory, and several promising directions for further investigation are given.
