Abstract: Let G be a complex semisimple Lie group and au a complex antilinear involution that commutes with the Cartan involution. If H denotes the connected subgroup of au-fixed points in G, and K is maximally compact, each H-orbit in G/K can be equipped with a Poisson structure as described by Evens and Lu. We consider symplectic leaves of certain such H-orbits with a natural hamiltonian torus action. A symplectic convexity theorem of Hilgert-Neeb-Plank then leads to van den Ban's convexity theorem for (complex) semisimple symmetric spaces.
The authors introduce a symplectic convexity theorem which leads to van den Ban's result for complex semisimple symmetric spaces. In 1982, Atiyah and Guillemin-Sternberg proved a convexity theorem and discovered interessant relations between Lie theory and symplectic geometry. In this work, the aim is to interpret the convexity result in a symplectic spirit. The kea idea is to define a natural Hamiltonian action and to consider the orbits of a certain subgroup that are non compact and non symplectic.
