Nilpotent Orbits, Primitive Ideals, and Characteristic Classes: A Geometric Perspective in Ring Theory

by R. MacPherson, J.-L. Brylinski, Walter Borho

Book Overview

1. The Subject Matter. Consider a complex semisimple Lie group G with Lie algebra g and Weyl group W. In this book, we present a geometric perspective on the following circle of ideas: polynomials The "vertices" of this graph are some of the most important objects in representation theory. Each has a theory in its own right, and each has had its own independent historical development. - A nilpotent orbit is an orbit of the adjoint action of G on g...
