Abstract

Using the finite dimensional example of PSU(1, 1), the universal covering of PSU(1, 1), as a guide, we revisit the orbit method as it applies to D̂, the universal central extension of D = Diff+ (S1). We clarify some aspects of the classification of coadjoint orbits, determine boundedness properties of the natural height function on these orbits, and calculate orbital integrals.
