On the orbit method for a solvable Lie algebra

From MaRDI portal





Let \(\mathfrak g\) be a finite-dimensional completely solvable Lie algebra over a field of characteristic 0. Let \(U(\mathfrak g)\) be its enveloping algebra. In [Proc. Noncommutative Harmonic Analysis, Marseille-Luminy 1978, Lect. Notes Math. 728, 42-63 (1979; Zbl 0409.22003)], \textit{J. Dixmier} has shown how to attach a primitive ideal in \(U(\mathfrak g)\) to every coadjoint orbit in \(\mathfrak g^*\) without using polarizations, if \(\mathfrak g\) is nilpotent. He also sketched how to do this in the solvable case. In this paper the author gives an alternative construction of the ideal attached to a coadjoint orbit in the solvable case. This construction, like Dixmier's, is heavily influenced by Duflo's work on biinvariant differential operators on Lie groups.
