Involutive automorphism of simple Lie algebra

I am sorry if this question is too elementary to be posted here, but no experts answer this question when I post it on Math Stackexchange. Let $\mathfrak{g}=\mathfrak{k}+\mathfrak{p}$ be a Cartan ...

Eigenspaces and covering relations of twisted involutions

Let $\theta:G\to G$ be an involution of a complex connected reductive Lie group, preserving a maximal torus $T$ (which, for me, lies inside a $\theta$-invariant Borel $B$). Let $K = G^\theta$ be the ...

Irreducible Symmetric Pairs

Let $\mathfrak{g}$ be a simple Lie algebra with a compact subalgebra $\mathfrak{k}$ such that $(\mathfrak{g},\mathfrak{k})$ corresponds to an irreducible Riemann symmetric space. Denote by $\sigma$ be ...

Symmetric pairs of holomorphic type

Let $G$ be a real simple Lie group of Hermitian type; that is, $G/K$ carries a structure of a Hermitian symmetric space where $K$ is a maximal compact subgroup of $G$. Equivalently, the center $Z(\...
