Abstract: Let $G$ be a real semisimple Lie group with finite center and let $mathfrakg=mathfrakkoplusmathfrakp$ be a Cartan decomposition of its Lie algebra. Let $K$ be a maximal compact subgroup of $G$ with Lie algebra $mathfrakk$ and let $au$ be an irreducible representation of $G$ on a complex vector space $V$. Let $h$ be a Hermitian scalar product on $V$ such that $au(G)$ is compatible with respect to $mathrmU(V,h{)}^{mathbbC}$. We denote by $m{u}_{mathfrakp}:mathbbP(V)longrightarrowmathfrakp$ the $G$-gradient map and by $mathcalO$ the unique closed orbit of $G$ in $mathbbP(V)$, which is a $K$-orbit, contained in the unique closed orbit of the Zariski closure of $au(G)$ in $mathrmU(V,h{)}^{mathbbC}$. We prove that up to equivalence the set of irreducible representations of parabolic subgroups of $G$ induced by $au$ are completely determined by the facial structure of the polar orbitope $mathcalE=mathrmconv(m{u}_{mathfrakp}(mathcalO))$. Moreover, any parabolic subgroup of $G$ admits a unique closed orbit which is well-adapted to $mathcalO$ and $m{u}_{mathfrakp}$ respectively. These results are new also in the complex reductive case. The connection between $mathcalE$ and $au$ provides a geometrical description of the Satake compactifications without root data. In this context the properties of the Bourguignon-Li-Yau map are also investigated. Given a measure $gamma$ on $mathcalO$, we construct a map $Ps{i}_{g}amma$ from the Satake compactification of $G/K$ associated to $au$ and $mathcalE$. If $gamma$ is a $K$-invariant measure then $Ps{i}_{g}amma$ is an homeomorphism of the Satake compactification and $mathcalE$. Finally, we prove that for a large class of measures the map $Ps{i}_{g}amma$ is surjective.
