Abstract

We characterize the adjoint G2 orbits in the Lie algebra g of G2 as fibered spaces over S6 with fibers given by the complex Cartan hypersurfaces. This combines the isoparametric hypersurfaces of case (g,m)=(6,2) with case (3,2). The fibrations on two singular orbits turn out to be diffeomorphic to the twistor fibrations of S6 and G2/SO(4). From the symplectic point of view, we show that there exists a 2-parameter family of Lagrangian submanifolds on every orbit.
