Abstract

Let π \pi be an irreducible Harish-Chandra (g,K) (\mathfrak{g}, K) -module, and denote its associated variety by AV(π) AV(\pi) . If AV(π) AV(\pi) is reducible, then each irreducible component must contain codimension one boundary component. Thus we are interested in the codimension one adjacency of nilpotent orbits for a symmetric pair (G,K) (G, K) . We define the notion of orbit graph and associated graph for π \pi , and study its structure for classical symmetric pairs; number of vertices, edges, connected components, etc. As a result, we prove that the orbit graph is connecetd for even nilpotent orbits. Finally, for indefinite unitary group U(p,q) U(p, q) , we prove that for each connected component of the orbit graph ΓK(Oλ) \Gamma_K(O_{\lambda}) thus defined, there is an irreducible Harish-Chandra module π \pi whose associated graph is exactly equal to the connceted component.
