Abstract:
Any coadjoint orbit of the general linear group can be canonically parameterized using an iteration method, where at each step we turn from the matrix of a transformation
$A$ to the matrix of the transformation that is the
projection of
$A$ parallel to an eigenspace of this transformation to a coordinate subspace.
We present a modification of the method applicable to the groups
$\mathrm{SO}(N,\mathbb C)$ and
$\mathrm{Sp}(N,\mathbb C)$. One step of the iteration consists of two actions, namely, the projection parallel to a subspace of an eigenspace and the simultaneous restriction to a subspace containing a co-eigenspace.
The iteration gives a set of couples of functions
$p_k,q_k$ on the orbit such that the symplectic form of the orbit is equal to
$\sum_kdp_k\wedge dq_k$. No restrictions on the Jordan form of the matrices forming the orbit are imposed.
A coordinate set of functions is selected in the important case of the absence of nontrivial Jordan blocks corresponding to the zero eigenvalue, which is the case
$\dim\ker A=\dim\ker A^2$. This case contains the case of general position, the general diagonalizable case, and many others.
Key words and phrases:
coadjoint orbit, classical Lie groups, Lie algebra, Lie–Poisson–Kirillov–Kostant form, symplectic fibration, rational Darboux coordinates.
