Symplectomorphism group of $T^*(G_\mathbb{C}/B)$ and the braid group I:   a homotopy equivalence for $G_\mathbb{C}=SL_3(\mathbb{C})$
  For a semisimple Lie group $G_\mathbb{C}$ over $\mathbb{C}$, we study the homotopy type of the symplectomorphism group of the cotangent bundle of the flag variety and its relation to the braid group. We prove a homotopy equivalence between the two groups in the case of $G_\mathbb{C}=SL_3(\mathbb{C})$, under the $SU(3)$-equivariancy condition on symplectomorphisms.
