Hofer–Zehnder capacity and Bruhat graph

Alexander Caviedes Castro

Algebraic & Geometric Topology 20 (2020) 565–600
Abstract

We find bounds for the Hofer–Zehnder capacity of spherically monotone coadjoint orbits of compact Lie groups with respect to the Kostant–Kirillov–Souriau symplectic form in terms of the combinatorics of their Bruhat graphs. We show that our bounds are sharp for coadjoint orbits of the unitary group and equal in that case to the diameter of a weighted Cayley graph.

Keywords
