Spherical affine cones in exceptional cases and related branching rules
arXiv:1111.3823
Abstract
Given a complex simply connected simple algebraic group of exceptional type and a maximal parabolic subgroup , we classify all triples such that is a maximal reductive subgroup acting spherically on . In addition we derive branching rules for , , where is the fundamental weight associated to . This is the first of two parts of a project to classify all such triples and corresponding branching rules for all simply connected simple algebraic groups.
