Constructions of $SU(2)$ and Weyl equivariant maps for all classical groups
Abstract
If is a compact Lie group, a maximal torus in (with Lie algebras and respectively) and the corresponding Weyl group, then the Berry-Robbins problem for , as formulated by Sir Michael Atiyah and Roger Bielawski, asks whether there exists a continuous equivariant map from the space of regular Cartan triples (an open subset of ) to , where acts via a regular Lie group homomorphism . This was settled positively by Atiyah and Bielawski, and their maps are even smooth, but they are not explicit. For , there exists another construction due to Sir Michael Atiyah and developed further with Paul Sutcliffe, which is explicit, but relies on a linear independence conjecture. The author had previously found a similar type of construction for , also relying on a linear independence conjecture. In this paper, similar constructions are done for and , thus exhausting the list of classical groups.
