Abstract

Summary. Let G be a connected, reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero. We assign to any G-variety X a finite cristallographic reflection group Wx by means of the moment map on the cotangent bundle. This generalizes the "little Weyl group" of a symmetric space. The Weyl group Wx is related to the equivariant compactification theory of X. We determine the closure of the image of the moment map and the generic isotropy group of the action of G on the cotangent bundle. As a byproduct we determine the ideal of elements of 11(g) which act trivially on X as a differential operator.
