Abstract

We presented a Hilbert-Mumford criterion for polystablility associated with an action of a real reductive Lie group GG on a real submanifold XX of a Kahler manifold ZZ. Suppose the action of a compact Lie group with Lie algebra u\mathfrak{u} extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified group UCU^\mathbb{C} and that the UU-action on ZZ is Hamiltonian. If GUCG\subset U^\mathbb{C} is compatible, there is a corresponding gradient map μp:Xp\mu_\mathfrak{p}: X\to \mathfrak{p}, where g=kp\mathfrak{g} = \mathfrak{k} \oplus \mathfrak{p} is a Cartan decomposition of the Lie algebra of GG. Under some mild restrictions on the GG-action on X,X, we characterize which GG-orbits in XX intersect μp1(0)\mu_\mathfrak{p}^{-1}(0) in terms of the maximal weight function, which we viewed as a collection of maps defined on the boundary at infinity (G/K\partial_\infty G/K) of the symmetric space G/KG/K.
