The symplectic geometry of the Gel'fand-Cetlin-Molev basis for representations of \(\text{Sp}(2n,\mathbb C)\) (Q854477)

By its very definition a co-adjoint orbit \({\mathcal O}_{\lambda}\) equipped with a maximal set of commuting functions is called a Gel'fand-Tsetlin system on \({\mathcal O}_{\lambda}\). The geometric quantization scheme produces from these data the representations spaces of the compact Lie groups SO\((n,{\mathbb R})\) and \(U(n,{\mathbb C})\) spanned by the so called Gel'fand-Tsetlin bases. This nice correspondence fails in the case of Sp\((2n,{\mathbb C})\) for which the respective basis was built some years ago [see \textit{A. I. Molev}, Commun. Math. Phys. 201, 591--618 (1999; Zbl 0931.17005)]. The interesting question addressed in the paper which is the Gel'fand-Tsetlin system on the co-adjoint orbit corresponding to this basis is answered by the author in the spirit of Guillemin-Sternberg theorem about the analogous situation with the unitary group \(U(n,{\mathbb C})\). Actually, the author presents in explicit form the maximal sets of commuting functions which are obtained via the deformation quantization techniques and making use of the well known representations of the Yangians and twisted Yangians which are examples of infinite-dimensional Hopf algebras. It is a little bit strange that while most of the presented results rely heavily on the Thimm's construction [\textit{A. Thimm}, Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 1, 495--517 (1981; Zbl 0491.58014)] a reference to this paper is not given in the paper.
