Abstract
Let be a compact, simply connected Lie group. If are two -conjugacy classes, then the set of elements in that can be written as products of elements is invariant under conjugation, and its image under the quotient map is a convex polytope inside the Weyl alcove. In this note, we will prove an analogous statement for twisted conjugations relative to group automorphisms. The result will be obtained as a special case of a convexity theorem for group-valued moment maps which are equivariant with respect to the twisted conjugation action.
