Connections and Symplectic Forms on the Cotangent Bundle of Flag Manifolds

We investigated the symplectic geometry of homogeneous spaces associated with semisimple Lie groups, focusing on cotangent bundles of maximal flag manifolds.Our work provides an explicit description of the canonical symplectic structure on these spaces using connections and curvatures of principal bundles naturally associated with the underlying Lie groups.We extend classical results concerning the exactness of symplectic forms on adjoint orbits, previously known for specific Lie algebras, to arbitrary simple Lie groups.In particular, we identify conditions under which the Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau form on a regular adjoint orbit coincides with the canonical symplectic form of the cotangent bundle, yielding exact symplectic structures.The approach combines differential-geometric techniques with Lie-theoretic constructions, offering a unifying framework that connects the geometry of coadjoint orbits with symplectic structures on homogeneous spaces.

Abstract

We investigated the symplectic geometry of homogeneous spaces associated with semisimple Lie groups, focusing on cotangent bundles of maximal flag manifolds.Our work provides an explicit description of the canonical symplectic structure on these spaces using connections and curvatures of principal bundles naturally associated with the underlying Lie groups.We extend classical results concerning the exactness of symplectic forms on adjoint orbits, previously known for specific Lie algebras, to arbitrary simple Lie groups.In particular, we identify conditions under which the Kostant-Kirillov-Souriau form on a regular adjoint orbit coincides with the canonical symplectic form of the cotangent bundle, yielding exact symplectic structures.The approach combines differential-geometric techniques with Lie-theoretic constructions, offering a unifying framework that connects the geometry of coadjoint orbits with symplectic structures on homogeneous spaces.
