Description:
Semisimple (co)adjoint orbits through real hyperbolic elements are well known to be symplectomorphic to cotangent bundles. We provide a new proof of this fact based on elementary results on both the Lie theory and symplectic geometry. Our proof establishes a new connection between the Iwasawa horospherical projection and the symplectic geometry of real hyperbolic (co)adjoint orbits.
