It is shown that any nonsingular Lagrangian describing the motion of a particle on a semisimple Lie group possesses a Fundamental Poisson bracket Relation (FPR) and consequently charges in involution. This property is independent of the dynamics of the model and can be derived in a quite simple and general way from the geometric and algebraic structures of the group manifold. The conditions a Hamiltonian has to satisfy in order those charges are to be conserved are discussed. These conditions lead to an algebra which plays an important role in the construction of conserved charges. In the second paper of the series, this work is extended to the coset spaces which are symmetric spaces.

AbstractLet Γ be a rank-one arithmetic subgroup of a semisimple Lie group G. For fixed K-Type, the spectral side of the Selberg trace formula defines a distribution on the space of infinitesimal characters of G, whose discrete part encodes the dimensions of the spaces of square-integrable Γ-automorphic forms. It is shown that this distribution converges to the Plancherel measure of G when Γ shrinks to the trivial group in a certain restricted way. The analogous assertion for cocompact lattices Γ follows from results of DeGeorge-Wallach and Delorme.

We give a criterion for the Kostant–Kirillov form on an adjoint orbit in a real semisimple Lie group to be exact. We explicitly compute the second cohomology of all the nilpotent adjoint orbits in every complex simple Lie algebra.
