Bundles equivariant with respect to a transitive Lie algebra action
Suppose an algebraic group $G$ transitively acts on a variety $X$. Then it is well known that $G$-equivariant vector bundles on $X$ are in correspondence with representations of the stabilizer of a ...

Representation viewpoint on Chern–Weil (cohomology computations done with rep theory?)
$\DeclareMathOperator\Sym{Sym}$Let $G$ be a compact lie group. Chern–Weil theory tells us that there's a homomorphism:
$$H^{*}(BG;\mathbb{R}) \to (\Sym^{\bullet} \mathfrak{g^*})^G$$
which in our case ...

When representation of two different coadjoint orbits are equivalent?
Let $G$ be a compact connected Lie group and $\mu:T\to S^1$ be a representation of a maximal torus $T \subset G$ and $\lambda=d\mu$ be a weight for some $\lambda\in\mathfrak{t}^*$ (where $\mathfrak{t}$...
