The Affine Closure of T^*(SL_n/U)

Representation Theory 2025-11-06 v2

Abstract

We show that the affine closure of T^*(SL_n/U) has symplectic singularities, in the sense of Beauville. In the special case n=3, we show that the affine closure of T^*(SL_3/U) is isomorphic to the closure of the minimal nilpotent adjoint orbit in so(8,C). Moreover, the quasi-classical Gelfand-Graev action of the Weyl group W on the affine closure of T^*(SL_3/U) can be identified with the restriction to the closure of the minimal nilpotent adjoint orbit of the triality action on so(8,C).
