Reference request: Conjugacy classes of real semi-simple Lie group $G$ and their decomposition into...












1












$begingroup$


Let $G$ be a real semi-simple Lie group and $K$ its maximal compact subgroup.




  1. Is there a description of the orbit space of the conjugation action on $G$ by itself?


  2. Is there a decription of how a conjugacy class of $G$ decomposes into orbits of the conjugation action by $K$?



I would appreciate it if anyone could point out any references.

    I do not understand the second question but the first is definitely no, just think about the Jordan normal form. JNF does generalize to other semisimple Lie groups.

    Thanks for your comments on item 1, which has just been edited. For item 2, I was asking for how a conjugacy class of $G$ decomposes into orbits of the conjugation action by $K$.
