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 which contains the zero element of g in its closure. (For the special linear group 2 G = SL(n,C), ... Read more

Reviews for Nilpotent Orbits, Primitive Ideals and Characteristic Classes
"…Most of the results in this book are not new. Instead the aim has been to use geometric (in place of the more traditional algebraic) methods in the constructions and proofs. This sheds new lights on the close connection between the three topics. The book is not self-contained. It relies heavily on previous work by the authors as well as on ... Read more
