Abstract from Pacific Journal of Mathematics - 207-1-5 - Luis G. Casian and Yuji Kodama The manifold is also related to the compactified level sets of a generalized Toda lattice equation defined on the semisimple Lie algebra, which is diffeomorphic to a toric variety in the flag manifold ${\tilde G}/B$ with Borel subgroup $B$ of $\tilde G$. We then give a cellular decomposition and the associated chain complex of the manifold by introducing colored-signed Dynkin diagrams which parametrize the cells in the decomposition. The manifold is identified as a compact, connected completion of the disconnected Cartan subgroup of the corresponding Lie group $\tilde G$ which is a disjoint union of the split Cartan subgroups associated to semisimple portions of Levi factors of all standard parabolic subgroups of $\tilde G$. nyjm.albany.edu:8000 /PacJ/2002/207-1-5nf.htm   (163 words)
