Let $G$ be a connected complex semisimple Lie group with a fixed maximal torus $T$ and a Borel subgroup $B supset T$. For an arbitrary automorphism $theta$ of $G$, we introduce a holomorphic Poisson structure $pi_theta$ on $G$ which is invariant under the $theta$-twisted conjugation by $T$ and has the property that every $theta$-twisted conjugacy class of $G$ is a Poisson subvariety with respect to $pi_theta$. We describe the $T$-orbits of symplectic leaves, called $T$-leaves, of $pi_theta$ and compute the dimensions of the symplectic leaves (i.e, the ranks) of $pi_theta$. We give the lowest rank of $pi_theta$ in any given $theta$-twisted conjugacy class, and we relate the lowest possible rank locus of $pi_theta$ in $G$ with spherical $theta$-twisted conjugacy classes of $G$. In particular, we show that $pi_theta$ vanishes somewhere on $G$ if and only if $theta$ induces an involution on the Dynkin diagram of $G$, and that in such a case a $theta$-twisted conjugacy class $C$ contains a vanishing point of $pi_theta$ if and only if $C$ is spherical.
Let $mathsf G$ be a connected reductive linear algebraic group defined over $mathbb R$, and let $C: mathsf Grightarrow mathsf G$ be a fundamental Chevalley involution. We show that for every $gin mathsf G(mathbb R)$, $C(g)$ is conjugate to $g^{-1}$ in the group $mathsf G(mathbb R)$. Similar result on the Lie algebras is also obtained.
We define a map from the set of conjugacy classes of a Weyl group W to the representation ring of W tensored with the ring of polynomials in one variable.
We evaluate the path integral of the Poisson sigma model on sphere and study the correlators of quantum observables. We argue that for the path integral to be well-defined the corresponding Poisson structure should be unimodular. The construction of the finite dimensional BV theory is presented and we argue that it is responsible for the leading semiclassical contribution. For a (twisted) generalized Kahler manifold we discuss the gauge fixed action for the Poisson sigma model. Using the localization we prove that for the holomorphic Poisson structure the semiclassical result for the correlators is indeed the full quantum result.
Let $G$ be a connected semisimple Lie group. There are two natural duality constructions that assign to it the Langlands dual group $G^vee$ and the Poisson-Lie dual group $G^*$. The main result of this paper is the following relation between these two objects: the integral cone defined by the cluster structure and the Berenstein-Kazhdan potential on the double Bruhat cell $G^{vee; w_0, e} subset G^vee$ is isomorphic to the integral Bohr-Sommerfeld cone defined by the Poisson structure on the partial tropicalization of $K^* subset G^*$ (the Poisson-Lie dual of the compact form $K subset G$). By [5], the first cone parametrizes the canonical bases of irreducible $G$-modules. The corresponding points in the second cone belong to integral symplectic leaves of the partial tropicalization labeled by the highest weight of the representation. As a by-product of our construction, we show that symplectic volumes of generic symplectic leaves in the partial tropicalization of $K^*$ are equal to symplectic volumes of the corresponding coadjoint orbits in $operatorname{Lie}(K)^*$. To achieve these goals, we make use of (Langlands dual) double cluster varieties defined by Fock and Goncharov [9]. These are pairs of cluster varieties whose seed matrices are transpose to each other. There is a naturally defined isomorphism between their tropicalizations. The isomorphism between the cones described above is a particular instance of such an isomorphism associated to the double Bruhat cells $G^{w_0, e} subset G$ and $G^{vee; w_0, e} subset G^vee$.
A generalized Baumslag-Solitar group is the fundamental group of a graph of groups all of whose vertex and edge groups are infinite cyclic. Levitt proves that any generalized Baumslag-Solitar group has property R-infinity, that is, any automorphism has an infinite number of twisted conjugacy classes. We show that any group quasi-isometric to a generalized Baumslag-Solitar group also has property R-infinity. This extends work of the authors proving that any group quasi-isometric to a solvable Baumslag-Solitar BS(1,n) group has property R-infinity, and relies on the classification of generalized Baumslag-Solitar groups given by Whyte.
