Abstract: We partially describe equivariant Dirac and generalized complex structures on a homogeneous space $G/K$ by giving equivalent data involving only the Lie algebra. We consider real semisimple adjoint orbits in any semisimple Lie algebra over $mathbbR$ and real nilpotent orbits in $s{l}_n(mathbbR)$. We give a complete classification for Riemannian symmetric spaces and for a compact group modulo a closed, connected subgroup containing a Cartan subgroup.

Review text

One of the main theorems of the paper under review provides a characterization of equivariant Dirac structures on homogeneous spaces. One is then able to classify the structures of this type on several important classes of homogeneous spaces: Riemannian symmetric spaces, nilpotent orbits in \({\mathfrak s}{\mathfrak l}_n({\mathbb R})\), semisimple orbits in semisimple Lie algebras, and quotients of compact Lie groups by closed connected subgroups containing Cartan subgroups. In the latter situation one obtains generalized complex structures which are neither symplectic nor complex.
