Abstract

Let G/KG/K be an orbit of the adjoint representation of a compact connected Lie group GG, σ\sigma be an involutive automorphism of GG and G~\tilde G be the Lie group of fixed points of σ\sigma. We find a sufficient condition for the complete integrability of the geodesic flow of the Riemannian metric on G~/(G~K)\tilde G/(\tilde G\cap K), which is induced by the bi-invariant Riemannian metric on G~\tilde G. The integrals constructed here are real analytic functions, polynomial in momenta. It is checked that this sufficient condition holds when GG is the unitary group U(n)U(n) and σ\sigma is its automorphism defined by the complex conjugation.
