Abstract

Given a complex algebraic group GG and complex GG-variety XX, one can study the affine Hamiltonian Lagrangian (AHL) GG-bundles over XX. Lisiecki indexes the isomorphism classes of such bundles in the case of a homogeneous GG-variety X=G/HX=G/H; the indexing set is the set of HH-fixed points (h)Hh(\mathfrak{h}^*)^H\subset\mathfrak{h}^*, where h\mathfrak{h} is the Lie algebra of HH. In very rough terms, one may regard ψ(h)H\psi\in(\mathfrak{h}^*)^H as labeling the isomorphism class of a ψ\psi-twisted cotangent bundle of G/HG/H. These twisted cotangent bundles feature prominently in geometric representation theory and symplectic geometry. We introduce and examine the notion of a universal family of AHL GG-bundles over a GG-variety XX, as part of a broader program on Lie-theoretic and incidence-theoretic constructions of regular Poisson varieties. This family is defined to be a flat family π:UY\pi:\mathcal{U}\longrightarrow Y, in which U\mathcal{U} is a Poisson variety, the fibers of π\pi form a complete list of representatives of the isomorphism classes of AHL GG-bundles over XX, and other pertinent properties are satisfied. Our first main result is the construction of a universal family of AHL GG-bundles over a homogeneous base X=G/HX=G/H, for connected HH. In our second main result, we take XX to be a conjugacy class C\mathcal{C} of self-normalizing closed subgroups of GG. We associate to C\mathcal{C} a regular Poisson variety UC\mathcal{U}_{\mathcal{C}}, defined in incidence-theoretic terms. Attention is paid to the case of conjugacy classes of normalizers of symmetric subgroups. In the case of a connected semisimple group GG and conjugacy class C\mathcal{C} of parabolic subgroups, our third main result relates UC\mathcal{U}_{\mathcal{C}} to the partial Grothendieck-Springer resolution for C\mathcal{C}.
