Abstract

There is a known hyperk\"ahler structure on any complexified Hermitian symmetric space G/KG/K, whose construction relies on identifying G/KG/K with both a (co)adjoint orbit and the cotangent bundle to the compact Hermitian symmetric space Gu/K0G_u/K_0. Via a family of explicit diffeomorphisms, we show that almost all of the complex structures are equivalent to the one on G/KG/K; via a family of related diffeomorphisms, we show that almost all of the symplectic structures are equivalent to the one on T(Gu/K0)T^*\left(G_u/K_0\right). We highlight the intermediate K\"ahler structures, which share a holomorphic action of GG related to the one on G/KG/K, but moment geometry related to that of T(Gu/K0)T^*\left(G_u/K_0\right). As an application, for the real form G0GG_0\subset G corresponding to G0/K0G_0/K_0, the Hermitian symmetric space of noncompact type, we give a strategy for study of the action on G/KG/K using the moment-critical subsets for the intermediate structures. We give explicit computations for SL(2)SL(2).
