Abstract: We study the variety mathfrakg(l) consisting of matrices xinmathfrakgl(n,C) such that x and its n1 by n1 cutoff xn1 share exactly l eigenvalues, counted with multiplicity. We determine the irreducible components of mathfrakg(l) by using the orbits of GL(n1,C) on the flag variety Bn of mathfrakgl(n,C). More precisely, let mathfrakbinBn be a Borel subalgebra such that the orbit GL(n1,C)cdotmathfrakb in Bn has codimension l. Then we show that the set Yfb:=Ad(g)(x):xinmathfrakbcapmathfrakg(l),ginGL(n1,C) is an irreducible component of mathfrakg(l), and every irreducible component of of mathfrakg(l) is of the form Ymathfrakb, where mathfrakb lies in a GL(n1,C)-orbit of codimension l. An important ingredient in our proof is the flatness of a variant of a morphism considered by Kostant and Wallach, and we prove this flatness assertion using ideas from symplectic geometry.
