For any coadjoint orbit $G/L$, we determine all useful terms of the associated Savelyev-Seidel morphism defined on $H_{-*}(\Omega G)$. Immediate consequences are: (1) the dimension of the kernel of the natural map $\pi_*(G)\otimes…

Duistermaat introduced the concept of ``real locus'' of a Hamiltonian manifold. In that and in others' subsequent works, it has been shown that many of the techniques developed in the symplectic category can be used to study real loci, so…

There is a known hyperk\"ahler structure on any complexified Hermitian symmetric space $G/K$, whose construction relies on identifying $G/K$ with both a (co)adjoint orbit and the cotangent bundle to the compact Hermitian symmetric space…
