coadjoint orbits and symmetry

61 Views Asked by At

Suppose we have some Lie group $G$, and we consider a co-adjoint orbit $\Omega$, which is a symplectic manifold. Does $G$ act on $\Omega$ by symplectomorphisms? As in, is $G$ a symmetry of $\Omega$, (an action that preserves symplectic structure)?

Yes, the action is even Hamiltonian, with moment map given by the inclusion of $\Omega$ into $g^*$. You can check this directly.
