Abstract:
The Kirillov-Duflo orbit correspondance for compact Lie groups is parametrisation of the unitary dual, associating to the irreducible representation of highest weight $\lambda$ the coadjoint orbit through $\lambda +\delta$, where $\delta$ is half the sum of the positive roots and justified by the character formulae of Weyl or Kirillov. In this paper we obtain this correspondence independently of character theory, showing that it arises from a convexity property of the Weyl functional calculus of the infinitesimal generators of the representation.References
