Abstract:
It is proved that, for any action of a reductive algebraic group G on a quasiaffine algebraic variety X, there is a canonical G-equivariant symplectic rational Galois covering f:T∗HorX→T∗X, where HorX is the variety of horospheres (orbits of maximal unipotent subgroups of G) in X.
Key words and phrases:
Cotangent bundle, symplectic geometry, algebraic group, algebraic variety, horosphere.
