We prove that the existence of the normal polarization associated with a linear functional on the Lie algebra is necessary and sufficient for the transition to local canonical Darboux coordinates $(p,q)$ on the coadjoint representation orbit that is linear in the \"momenta.\" We show that the $\\la$-representations of Lie algebras (which are used, in particular, in integrating differential equations) result from the quantization of the Poisson bracket on the coalgebra in canonical coordinates.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2001-01-25T09:21:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lie groups", "casimir operators", "lie algebra", "local canonical darboux coordinates", "coadjoint representation orbit" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2001math.ph...1028S" } } }
