Kirillov-Frenkel character formula for Loop groups, radial part and Brownian sheet

Abstract

We consider the coadjoint action of a Loop group of a compact group on the dual of the corresponding centrally extended Loop algebra and prove that a Brownian motion in a Cartan subalgebra conditioned to remain in an affine Weyl chamber - which can be seen as a space time conditioned Brownian motion - is distributed as the radial part process of a Brownian sheet on the underlying Lie algebra.
