Under a mild condition, we will show that the support of the $\\mathcal{Z}(\\mathfrak{g})$-action is a union of affine subspaces in the dual of a Cartan subalgebra modulo the Weyl group action. As a consequence, we propose a definition of a Cartan subalgebra for such a $\\mathfrak{g}$-module. The support of the $\\mathcal{Z}(\\mathfrak{g})$-module is an algebraic counterpart of the support of the measure in the irreducible decomposition of a unitary representation. This consideration is motivated by the theory of the discrete decomposability initiated by T. Kobayashi. Defining a Cartan subalgebra for a $\\mathfrak{g}$-module is motivated by the study of I. Losev on Poisson $G$-varieties. These are related each other through the associated variety and the nilpotent orbit associated to a $\\mathfrak{g}$-module.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2024-05-16T18:22:08.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "restrictions", "cartan subalgebra modulo", "weyl group action", "nilpotent orbit", "affine subspaces" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 31, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
