Abstract
Let be a connected, simply-connected, and almost simple algebraic group, and let be a Dynkin automorphism on . In this paper, we get a bijection between the set of $\st$-invariant MV cycles (polytopes) for and the set of MV cycles (polytopes) for $G^\st$, which is the fixed point subgroup of ; moreover, this bijection can be restricted to the set of MV cycles (polytopes) in irreducible representations. As an application, we obtain a new proof of the twining character formula.
