The moment mapping for a unitary representation
math.RT
For any unitary representation of an arbitrary Lie group I construct a moment mapping from the space of smooth vectors of the representation into the dual of the Lie algebra. This moment mapping is equivariant and smooth. For the space of analytic vectors the same construction is possible and leads to a real analytic moment mapping.

All unitary representations admit moment mappings
math.RT
This is a review of [Michor, Peter W.: The moment mapping for a unitary representation, Ann. Global Anal. Geometry, 8, No 3(1990), 299--313] including a careful description of calculus in infinite dimensions. For any unitary representation of an arbitrary Lie group I construct a moment mapping from the space of smooth vectors of the representation into the dual of the Lie algebra. This moment mapping is equivariant and smooth. For the space of analytic vectors the same construction is possible and leads to a real analytic moment mapping.

Nilpotent orbits, normality, and Hamiltonian group actions
math.RT
Let $M$ be a $G$-covering of a nilpotent orbit in $\g$ where $G$ is a complex semisimple Lie group and $\g=\text{Lie}(G)$. We prove that under Poisson bracket the space $R[2]$ of homogeneous functions on $M$ of degree 2 is the unique maximal semisimple Lie subalgebra of $R=R(M)$ containing $\g$. The action of $\g'\simeq R[2]$ exponentiates to an action of the corresponding Lie group $G'$ on a $G'$-cover $M'$ of a nilpotent orbit in $\g'$ such that $M$ is open dense in $M'$. We determine all such pairs $(\g\subset\g')$.

Homogeneous functions on light cones: the infinitesimal structure of some degenerate principal series representations
math.RT
In this paper we study the reducibility, composition series and unitarity of the components of some degenerate principal series representations of $\RMO(p,q)$, $\RMU(p,q)$ and $\SP(p,q)$. This is done by realizing these representations in paces of homogeneous functions on light cones and writing down the explicit actions of the universal enveloping algebra of the group concerned.

An external approach to unitary representations
math.RT
The main aim of this paper is to present the ideas which lead first to the solution of the unitarizability problem for $\GL(n)$ over nonarchimedean local fields and to the recognition that the same result holds over archimedean local fields, a result which was proved by Vogan using an internal approach. Let us say that the approach that we are going to present may be characterized as external. At no point do we go into the internal structure of representations.

On the convergence of the zeta function for certain prehomogeneous vector spaces
math.RT
Let (G,V) be an irreducible prehomogeneous vector space defined over a number field k, P in k[V] a relative invariant polynomial, and X a rational character of G such that P(gx)=X(g)P(x). Let V_k^{ss}={x \in V_k such that P(x) is not equal to 0}. For x in V_k^{ss}, let G_x be the stabilizer of x, and G_x^0 the connected component of 1 of G_x. We define L_0 to be the set of x in V_k^{ss} such that G_x^0 does not have a non-trivial rational character. We study the zeta function for (G,V).

The moment map for a multiplicity free action
math.RT
Let $K$ be a compact connected Lie group acting unitarily on a finite-dimensional complex vector space $V$. One calls this a {\em multiplicity-free} action whenever the $K$-isotypic components of $\C[V]$ are $K$-irreducible. We have shown that this is the case if and only if the moment map $\tau:V\rightarrow\k^*$ for the action is finite-to-one on $K$-orbits. This is equivalent to a result concerning \gp s associated with Heisenberg groups that is motivated by the Orbit Method. Further details of this work will be published elsewhere.

Exceptional Theta-correspondences I
math.RT
Let $G$ be a split simply laced group defined over a $p$-adic field $F$. In this paper we study the restriction of the minimal representation of $G$ to various dual pairs in $G$. For example, the restriction of the minimal representation of $E_7$ to the dual pair $G_2 \times{}$Sp(6) gives the non-endoscopic Langlands lift of irreducible representations of $G_2$ to Sp(6).

Inversion of an integral transform and ladder representations of U(1,q)
math.RT
An integral transform for G=U(1,q) is studied. The transform maps the positive spin ladder representations of G on a Bargmann-Segal-Fock space F_n^1,q into a space of polynomial-valued functions on the bounded realization B^q of G/K. An inversion is given for the transform and unitary structures are given for the geometric realization of the positive spin ladder representations over G/K.

On the automorphism groups of complex homogeneous spaces
math.RT
If G is a (connected) complex Lie Group and Z is a generalized flag manifold for G, the the open orbits D of a (connected) real form G_0 of G form an interesting class of complex homogeneous spaces, which play an important role in the representation theory of G_0. We find that the group of automorphisms, i.e., the holomorphic diffeomorphisms, is a finite-dimensional Lie group, except for a small number of open orbits, where it is infinite dimensional. In the finite-dimensional case, we determine its structure. Our results have some consequences in representation theory.

Classification of $N$-(super)-extended Poincaré algebras and bilinear invariants of the spinor representation of $Spin(p,q)$
math.RT
We classify extended Poincar\'e Lie super algebras and Lie algebras of any signature (p,q), that is Lie super algebras and Z_2-graded Lie algebras g = g_0 + g_1, where g_0 = so(V) + V is the (generalized) Poincar\'e Lie algebra of the pseudo Euclidean vector space V = R^{p,q} of signature (p,q) and g_1 = S is the spinor so(V)-module extended to a g_0-module with kernel V. The remaining super commutators {g_1,g_1} (respectively, commutators [g_1, g_1]) are defined by an so(V)-equivariant linear mapping vee^2 g_1 -> V (respectively, wedge^2 g_1 -> V). Denote by P^+(n,s) (respectively, P^-(n,s)) the vector space of all such Lie super algebras (respectively, Lie algebras), where n = p + q = dim V and s = p - q is the signature. The description of P^+-(n,s) reduces to the construction of all so(V)-invariant bilinear forms on S and to the calculation of three Z_2-valued invariants for some of them. This calculation is based on a simple explicit model of an irreducible Clifford module S for the Clifford algebra Cl_{p,q} of arbitrary signature (p,q). As a result of the classification, we obtain the numbers L^+-(n,s) = \dim P^+-(n,s) of independent Lie super algebras and algebras, which take values 0,1,2,3,4 or 6. Due to Bott periodicity, L^+-(n,s) may be considered as periodic functions with period 8 in each argument. They are invariant under the group Gamma generated by the four reflections with respect to the axes n=-2, n=2, s-1 = -2 and s-1 = 2. Moreover, the reflection (n,s) -> (-n,s) with respect to the axis s=0 interchanges L^+ and L^- : L^+(-n,s) = L^-(n,s).

Some results on the admissible representations of non-connected reductive p-adic groups
math.RT
We examine the theory of induced representations for non-connected reductive $p$-adic groups for which $G/G^0$ is abelian. We first examine the structure of those representations of the form $\Ind_{P^0}^G(\sigma),$ where $P^0$ is a parabolic subgroup of $G^0$ and $\s$ is a discrete series representation of the Levi component of $P^0.$ Here we develop a theory of $R$--groups, extending the theory in the connected case. We then prove some general results in the theory of representations of non-connected $p$-adic groups whose component group is abelian. We define the notion of cuspidal parabolic for $G$ in order to give a context for this discussion. Intertwining operators for the non-connected case are examined and the notions of supercuspidal and discrete series are defined. Finally, we examine parabolic induction from a cuspidal parabolic subgroup of $G.$ Here we also develop a theory of $R$--groups, and show that these groups parameterize the induced representations in a manner that is consistent with the connected case and with the first set of results as well.

Murnaghan-Nakayama rules for characters of Iwahori-Hecke algebras of the complex reflection groups G(r,p,n)
math.RT
Iwahori-Hecke algebras for the infinite series of complex reflection groups $G(r,p,n)$ were constructed recently in the work of Ariki and Koike, Brou\'e and Malle, and Ariki. In this paper we give Murnaghan-Nakayama type formulas for computing the irreducible characters of these algebras. Our method is a generalization of that in our earlier paper in which we derived Murnaghan-Nakayama rules for the characters of the Iwahori-Hecke algebras of the classical Weyl groups. In both papers we have been motivated by C. Greene, who gave a new derivation of the Murnaghan-Nakayama formula for irreducible symmetric group characters by summing diagonal matrix entries in Young's seminormal representations. We use the analogous representations of the Iwahori-Hecke algebra of $G(r,p,n)$ given by Ariki and Koike.

Seminormal representations of Weyl groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras
math.RT
The purpose of this paper is to describe a general procedure for computing analogues of Young's seminormal representations of the symmetric groups. The method is to generalize the Jucys-Murphy elements in the group algebras of the symmetric groups to arbitrary Weyl groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras. The combinatorics of these elements allows one to compute irreducible representations explicitly and often very easily. In this paper we do these computations for Weyl groups and Iwahori-Hecke algebras of types $A_n$, $B_n$, $D_n$, $G_2$. Although these computations are in reach for types $F_4$, $E_6$, and $E_7$, we shall, in view of the length of the current paper, postpone this to another work.

On local coefficients for non-generic representations of some classical groups
math.RT
This paper is concerned with representations of split orthogonal and quasi-split unitary groups over a nonarchimedean local field which are not generic, but which support a unique model of a different kind, the generalized Bessel model. The properties of the Bessel models under induction are studied, and an analogue of Rodier's theorem concerning the induction of Whittaker models is proved for Bessel models which are minimal in a suitable sense. The holomorphicity in the induction parameter of the Bessel functional is established. Last, local coefficients are defined for each irreducible supercuspidal representation which carries a Bessel functional and also for a certain component of each representation parabolically induced from such a supercuspidal.

Correction to "Measurable quotients of unipotent translations on homogeneous spaces
math.RT
The statements of Main~Theorem~1.1 and Theorem~2.1 of the author's paper [\emph{Trans.\ Amer.\ Math.\ Soc.}\ {\bf 345} (1994) 577--594] should assume that $\Gamma $~is discrete and $G$~is connected. (Cors.~1.3, 5.6, and~5.8 are affected similarly.) These restrictions can be removed if the conclusions of the results are weakened to allow for the possible existence of transitive, proper subgroups of~$G$. In this form, the results can be extended to the setting where $G$ is a product of real and $p$-adic Lie groups.

Superrigid subgroups of solvable Lie groups
math.RT
Let $\Gamma$ be a discrete subgroup of a simply connected, solvable Lie group~$G$, such that $\Ad_G\Gamma$ has the same Zariski closure as $\Ad G$. If $\alpha \colon \Gamma \to \GL_n(\real)$ is any finite-dimensional representation of~$\Gamma $,we show that $\alpha$ virtually extends to a continuous representation~$\sigma $ of~$G$. Furthermore, the image of~$\sigma$ is contained in the Zariski closure of the image of~$\alpha $. When $\Gamma$ is not discrete, the same conclusions are true if we make the additional assumption that the closure of $[\Gamma, \Gamma]$ is a finite-index subgroup of $[G,G] \cap \Gamma$ (and $\Gamma$ is closed and $\alpha$ is continuous).

Cohomology at infinity and the well-rounded retract for general Linear Groups
math.RT
Let $\bold G$ be a reductive algebraic group defined over $\Q$, and let $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic subgroup of $\bold G(\Q)$. Let $X$ be the symmetric space for $\bold G(\R)$, and assume $X$ is contractible. Then the cohomology (mod torsion) of the space $X/\Gamma$ is the same as the cohomology of $\Gamma$. In turn, $X/\Gamma$ will have the same cohomology as $W/\Gamma$, if $W$ is a ``spine'' in $X$. This means that $W$ (if it exists) is a deformation retract of $X$ by a $\Gamma$-equivariant deformation retraction, that $W/\Gamma$ is compact, and that $\dim W$ equals the virtual cohomological dimension (vcd) of $\Gamma$. Then $W$ can be given the structure of a cell complex on which $\Gamma$ acts cellularly, and the cohomology of $W/\Gamma$ can be found combinatorially.

Prehomogeneous vector spaces and ergodic theory III
math.RT
Let H_1=SL(5), H_2=SL(3), H=H_1 \times H_2. It is known that (G,V) is a prehomogeneous vector space (see [22], [26], [25], for the definition of prehomogeneous vector spaces). A non-constant polynomial \delta(x) on V is called a relative invariant polynomial if there exists a character \chi such that \delta(gx)=\chi(g)\delta(x). Such \delta(x) exists for our case and is essentially unique. So we define V^{ss}={x in V such that \delta(x) is not equal to 0}. For x in V_R^{ss}, let H_{x R+}^0 be the connected component of 1 in classical topology of the stabilizer H_{x R}. We will prove that if x in V_R^ss is "sufficiently irrational", H_{x R+}^0 H_Z is dense in H_R.

Simple Lie algebras which generalize Witt algebras

Down-up Algebras
math.RT
The algebra generated by the down and up operators on a differential partially ordered set (poset) encodes essential enumerative and structural properties of the poset. Motivated by the algebras generated by the down and up operators on posets, we introduce here a family of infinite-dimensional associative algebras called down-up algebras. We show that down-up algebras exhibit many of the important features of the universal enveloping algebra $U(\fsl)$ of the Lie algebra $\fsl$ including a Poincar\'e-Birkhoff-Witt type basis and a well-behaved representation theory. We investigate the structure and representations of down-up algebras and focus especially on Verma modules, highest weight representations, and category $\mathcal O$ modules for them. We calculate the exact expressions for all the weights, since that information has proven to be particularly useful in determining structural results about posets.

Approximate representations and Virasoro algebra

In the paper there are investigated various approximate representations of the infinite dimensional $\Bbb Z$--graded Lie algebras: the Witt algebra of all Laurent polynomial vector fields on a circle and its one-dimensional nontrivial central extension, the Virasoro algebra, by the infinite dimensional hidden symmetries in the Verma modules over the Lie algebra $\sl(2,C)$. There are considered as asymptotic representations "$mod O(\hbar^n)$" and representations up to a class $\frak S$ of operators (compact operators, Hilbert-Schmidt operators and finite-rank operators) as cases, which combine both types of approximations and in these cases an effect of noncommutativity of the order of their perform is explicated, that perhaps is underlied by a more general fundamental fact of deviations between the asymptotical theory of pseudodifferential operators and the pseudodifferential calculus on the asymptotic manifolds.

Tensor products of singular representations and an extension of the theta-correspondence

In this paper we consider the problem of decomposing tensor products of certain singular unitary representations of a semisimple Lie group G. Using explicit models for these representations (constructed earlier by one of us) we show that the decomposition is controlled by a reductive homogeneous space G'/H'. Our procedure establishes a correspondence between certain unitary representations of G and those of G'. This extends the usual theta--correspondence for dual reductive pairs. As a special case we obtain a correspondence between certain representations of real forms of E_7 and F_4.

Weight modules of direct limit Lie algebras

In this article we initiate a systematic study of irreducible weight modules over direct limits of reductive Lie algebras, and in particular over the simple Lie algebras $A(\infty)$, $B(\infty)$, $C(\infty)$ and $D(\infty)$. Our main tool is the shadow method introduced recently in \cite{DMP}. The integrable irreducible modules are an important particular class and we give an explicit parametrization of the finite integrable modules which are analogues of finite-dimensional irreducible modules over reductive Lie algebras. We then introduce the more general class of pseudo highest weight modules. Our most general result is the description of the support of any irreducible weight module.

We then apply this result in order to compare translation functors.

Graded Lie Superalgebras, Supertrace Formula, and Orbit Lie Superalgebras
math.RT
Let $\Gamma$ be a countable abelian semigroup and $A$ be a countable abelian group satisfying a certain finiteness condition. Suppose that a group $G$ acts on a $(\Gamma \times A)$-graded Lie superalgebra ${\frak L}=\bigoplus_{(\alpha,a) \in \Gamma\times A} {\frak L}_{(\alpha,a)}$ by Lie superalgebra automorphisms preserving the $(\Gamma\times A)$-gradation. In this paper, we show that the Euler-Poincar\'e principle yields the generalized denominator identity for ${\frak L}$ and derive a closed form formula for the supertraces $\text{str}(g|{\frak L}_{(\alpha,a)})$ for all $g\in G$,$(\alpha,a) \in \Gamma\times A$. We discuss the applications of our supertrace formula to various classes of infinite dimensional Lie superalgebras such as free Lie superalgebras and generalized Kac-Moody superalgebras. In particular, we determine the decomposition of free Lie superalgebras into a direct sum of irreducible $GL(n) \times GL(k)$-modules, and the supertraces of the Monstrous Lie superalgebras with group actions. Finally, we prove that the generalized characters of Verma modules and the irreducible highest weight modules over a generalized Kac-Moody superalgebra ${\frak g}$ corresponding to the Dynkin diagram automorphism $\sigma$ are the same as the usual characters of Verma modules and irreducible highest weight modules over the orbit Lie superalgebra $\breve{\frak g}={\frak g}(\sigma)$ determined by $\sigma$.

The Polynomial Behavior of Weight Multiplicities for the Affine Kac-Moody Algebras $A^{(1)}_r$

We prove that the multiplicity of an arbitrary dominant weight for an integrable highest weight representation of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $A_{r}^{(1)}$ is a polynomial in the rank $r$. In the process we show that the degree of this polynomial is less than or equal to the depth of the weight with respect to the highest weight. These results allow weight multiplicity information for small ranks to be transferred to arbitrary ranks.

On the classification of unitary representations of reductive Lie groups
math.RT
Suppose G is a real reductive Lie group in Harish-Chandra's class. We propose here a structure for the set \Pi_u(G) of equivalence classes of irreducible unitary representations of G. (The subscript u will be used throughout to indicate structures related to unitary representations.) We decompose \Pi_{u}(G) into disjoint subsets with a (very explicit) discrete parameter set \Lambda_u: \Pi_u(G) = \bigcup_{\lambda_u \in \Lambda_u} \Pi_u^{\lambda_u}(G). Each subset is identified conjecturally with a collection of unitary representations of a certain subgroup G(\lambda_u) of G. (We will give strong evidence and partial results for this conjecture.) In this way the problem of classifying \Pi_u(G) would be reduced (by induction on the dimension of G) to the case G(\lambda_u) = G.

A duality of a twisted group algebra of the hyperoctahedral group and the queer Lie superalgebra
math.RT
We establish a duality relation between one of the twisted group algebras of the hyperoctahedral groupf H_k and a Lie superalgebra q(n_0) \oplus q(n_1) for any integers k and n_0, n_1, where q(n_0) and q(n_1) denote the ``queer'' Liesuperalgebras. Note that this twisted group algebra \B'_k belongs to a different cocycle from the one \B_k used by A. N. Sergeev in [8] and by the present author in [11]. We will use the supertensor product \C_k \otimes \B'_k of the 2^k-dimensional Clifford algebra \C_k and \B'_k, as an intermediary for establishing our duality. We show that the algebra \C_k \otimes B'_k and q(n_0) \oplus q(n_1) act on the k-fold tensor product W=V^{\otimes k} of the natural representation V of q(n_0+n_1) ``as mutual centralizers of each other'' (Theorem 4.1). Moreover, we show that \B'_k and q(n_0) \oplus q(n_1) act on a subspace W' of W ``as mutual centralizers of each other'' (Theorem 4.2). This duality relation gives a formula for character values of simple B'_k-modules. This formula is di fferent from a formula (Theorem D) obtained by J. R. Stembridge (cf. [10, Lem 7.5]).

We characterize spherical vectors for these representation and prove that they are closely related to the Bessel K-function $K_\tau (z)$. The resulting construction can be used to study tensor powers of the minimal representation and establish an extension of the Howe duality correspondence to some exceptional groups.

Raising operators for the Whittaker wave functions of the Toda chain and intertwining operators
math.RT
Intertwiners between representations of Lie groups can be used to obtain relations for matrix elements. We apply this technique to obtain different identities for the wave functions of the open Toda chain, in particular raising operators and bilinear relations for the wave functions at different energy levels. We also recall the group theory approach to the Toda chain: treating the wave functions as matrix elements in irreducible representations between the so-called Whittaker vectors, integral representations of the wave functions, etc.

Classification of finite dimensional modules of singly atypical type over the Lie superalgebras sl(m/n)
math.RT
We classify the finite dimensional indecomposable sl(m/n)-modules with at least a typical or singly atypical primitive weight. We do this classification not only for weight modules, but also for generalized weight modules. We obtain that such a generalized weight module is simply a module obtained by ``linking'' sub-quotient modules of generalized Kac-modules. By applying our results to sl(m/1), we have in fact completely classified all finite dimensional sl(m/1)-modules.

Affine sl_p controls the representation theory of the symmetric group and related Hecke algebras
math.RT
In this paper we prove theorems that describe how the representation theory of the affine Hecke algebra of type A and of related algebras such as the group algebra of the symmetric group are controlled by integrable highest weight representations of the characteristic zero affine Lie algebra \hat{sl}_l. In particular we parameterise the representations of these algebras by the nodes of the crystal graph, and give various Hecke theoretic descriptions of the edges. As a consequence we find for each prime p a basis of the integrable representations of \hat{sl}_l which shares many of the remarkable properties, such as positivity, of the global crystal basis/canonical basis of Lusztig and Kashiwara. This {\it $p$-canonical basis} is the usual one when p = 0, and the crystal of the p-canonical basis is always the usual one. The paper is self-contained, and our techniques are elementary (no perverse sheaves or algebraic geometry is invoked).

Analytic continuation of representations and estimates of automorphic forms
math.RT
Properties of analytic vectors in representations of SL(2,R) are used to give new bounds for the triple products recently considered by P. Sarnak. A conjecture of Sarnak about such products is proved. The results of this paper generalize results of A. Good and M. Jutila about special cases, but the techniques are entirely different. One consequence of these results is a new estimate of the magnitude of the Fourier coefficients of cusp forms for non-arithmetic sub-groups of SL(2,R).

Steinberg modules and Donkin pairs
math.RT
We prove that in positive characteristic a module with good filtration for a group of type E6 restricts to a module with good filtration for a subgroup of type F4. (Recall that a filtration of a module for a semisimple algebraic group is called good if its layers are dual Weyl modules.) Our result confirms a conjecture of Brundan for one more case. The method relies on the canonical Frobenius splittings of Mathieu. Next we settle the remaining cases, in characteristic not 2, with a computer-aided variation on the old method of Donkin.

Localization of elementary systems in the theory of Wigner

We characterize the elements of these subspaces as boundary values of holomorphic functions in the sense of distribution theory and show that the corresponding holomorphic functions satisfy the sufficient conditions of the theorems of Paley-Wiener-Schwartz and H\"{o}rmander.

Loop groups G as families of mappings of the complex manifold M into another complex manifold N preserving marked points $s_0\in M$ and $y_0\in N$ are investigated. Quasi-invariant measures $\mu $ on G relative to dense subgroups $G'$ are constructed. These measures are used for the studying of irreducible representations of such groups.

Poisson measures for topological groups and their representations
math.RT
Gaussian quasi-invariant measures on groups of diffeomorphisms and loop groups G relative to dense subgroups G' were constructed. In the non-Archimedean case the wider class of measures was investigated, than in the real case. The cases of Riemann and non-Archimedean manifolds were considered. This article is related with unitary representations of G' associated with Poisson measures on $G^{\bf N}$ and uses quasi-invariant measures on G from the previous works. Several groups are considered: (1) (a) diffeomorphisms and (b) loop groups of real manifolds, (2) (a) diffeomorphisms and (b) loop groups of non-Archimedean manifolds over local fields. Besides these four cases further the fifth and the sixth cases are considered: for (3) (a) real and (b) non-Archimedean groups of diffeomorphisms Diff(M) representations associated with Poisson measures on configuration spaces $\Gamma_M$ contained in products of manifolds $M^{\bf N}$ are investigated. Here the cases of infinite-dimensional Banach manifold M (3) (a), non-Archimdean locally compact and non-locally compact Banach manifolds (3) (b) are investigated.

On the Ghost Centre of Lie Superalgebras
math.RT
We define a notion of ghost centre of a Lie superalgebra g=g_0+g_1 which is a sum of invariants with respect to the usual adjoint action (centre) and invariants with respect to a twisted adjoint action (``anticentre''). We calculate the anticentre in the case when the top external degree of g_1 is a trivial g_0-module. We describe the Harish-Chandra projection of the ghost centre for basic classical Lie superalgebras and show that for these cases the ghost centre coincides with the centralizer of the even part of the enveloping algebra. The ghost centre of a Lie superalgebra plays a role of the usual centre of a Lie algebra in some problems of representation theory. For instance, for osp(1,2l) the annihilator of a Verma module is generated by the intersection with the ghost centre.

On extensions of representations for compact Lie groups
math.RT
Let $H$ be a closed normal subgroup of a compact Lie group $G$ such that $G/H$ is connected. This paper provides a necessary and sufficient condition for every complex representation of $H$ to be extendible to $G$, and also for every complex $G$-vector bundle over the homogeneous space $G/H$ to be trivial. In particular, we show that the condition holds when the fundamental group of $G/H$ is torsion free.

A two-box-shift morphism between Specht modules

Let n geq 1, let lambda be a partition of n, let mu be a partition arising from lambda by a downwards shift of two boxes situated at the bottom of a column. We give a formula for a ZS_n-linear morphism of order m between the corresponding Specht modules over Z/(m), where m is the box shift length (divided by two in certain combinatorially specified cases). Reformulated, this yields an extension of the corresponding Specht modules over Z of order m in Ext^1.

A simple question about a complicated object

Let n and k be positive integers with and k < n. Then of course SU(k,1) is contained into SU(n,1). Moreover, which is less clear - but proved by Khoroshkin -, the representation theory of SU(k,1) at the generalized infinitesimal character of the trivial module can be fully (and even Ext-fully) embedded into that of SU(n,1). Here is the obvious bet: This embedding is implemented by the cohomological induction functor. I conjecture that a similar phenomenon occurs whenever SU(k,1) is a Levi factor of a theta stable parabolic subalgebra of a reductive group.

Branching rules for modular fundamental representations of symplectic groups

In this paper branching rules for the fundamental representations of the symplectic groups in positive characteristic are found. The submodule structure of the restrictions of the fundamental modules for the group $Sp_{2n}(K)$ to the naturally embedded subgroup $Sp_{2n-2}(K)$ is determined. As a corollary, inductive systems of fundamental representations for $Sp_{\infty}(K)$ are classified. The submodule structure of the fundamental Weyl modules is refined.

The behavior of the images of a fixed element of order p in irreducible representations of a classical algebraic group in odd characteristic p with highest weights large enough with respect to p and this element is investigated. Lower estimates for the number of Jordan blocks of size p in images of such elements that lie in naturally embedded subgroups of the same type as the initial group and smaller ranks are obtained.

Les conjectures d'Arthur utilis\'ees portent sur l'existence d'un rel\`evement faible des repr\'esentations automorphes cuspidales d'un groupe classique vers un groupe lin\'eaire convenable.

On en d\'eduit des r\'esultats sur la normalisation des operateurs d'entrelacement. We show how the global conjectures of Arthur allow us to calculate the points of irreducibility for representations induced from cuspidal representations of classical groups. The conjectures of Arthur used are concerned with the existence of weak liftings of automorphic representations from classical groups to suitable linear ones. And the points of irreducibility are described in terms of the geometry of unipotent orbits on the dual group. We deduce certain results about the normalization of intertwining operators.

Discrete group actions on Stein domains in complex Lie groups

This paper deals with the analytic continuation of holomorphic automorphic forms on a Lie group $G$. We prove that for any discrete subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ there always exists a non-trivial holomorphic automorphic form, i.e., there exists a $\Gamma$-spherical unitary highest weight representation of $G$. Holomorphic automorphic forms have the property that they analytically extend to holomorphic functions on a complex Ol'shanski\u\i{} semigroup $S\subeq G_\C$. As an application we prove that the bounded holomorphic functions on $\Gamma\bs S\subseteq \Gamma\bs G_\C$ separate the points.

Abelian Unipotent Subgroups of Reductive Groups
math.RT
Let G be a connected reductive group defined over an algebraically closed field k of characteristic p > 0. The purpose of this paper is two-fold. First, when p is a good prime, we give a new proof of the ``order formula'' of D. Testerman for unipotent elements in G; moreover, we show that the same formula determines the p-nilpotence degree of the corresponding nilpotent elements in the Lie algebra of G. Second, if G is semisimple and p is sufficiently large, we show that G always has a faithful representation (r,V) with the property that the exponential of dr(X) lies in r(G) for each p-nilpotent X in Lie(G). This property permits a simplification of the description given by Suslin, Friedlander, and Bendel of the (even) cohomology ring for the Frobenius kernels G_d, d > 1. The previous authors already observed that the natural representation of a classical group has the above property (with no restriction on p). Our methods apply to any Chevalley group and hence give the result also for quasisimple groups with ``exceptional type'' root systems. The methods give explicit sufficient conditions on p; for an adjoint semisimple G with Coxeter number h, the condition p > 2h -2 is always good enough.

Howe Duality for Lie Superalgebras

We study a dual pair of general linear Lie superalgebras in the sense of R. Howe. We give an explicit multiplicity-free decomposition of a symmetric and skew-symmetric algebra (in the super sense) under the action of the dual pair and present explicit formulas for the highest weight vectors in each isotypic subspace of the symmetric algebra. We give an explicit multiplicity-free decomposition into irreducible $gl(m|n)$-modules of the symmetric and skew-symmetric algebras of the symmetric square of the natural representation of $gl(m|n)$. In the former case we find as well explicit formulas for the highest weight vectors. Our work unifies and generalizes the classical results in symmetric and skew-symmetric models and admits several applications.

We use these calculations to extend to arbitrary elements the definition the higher orbital integrals introduced in \cite{Blanc-Brylinski} for regular semisimple elements. Then we extend to higher orbital integrals some results of Shalika. We also investigate the effect of the ``induction morphism'' on Hochschild homology.

Toric degenerations of Schubert varieties
math.RT
Let $G$ be a simply connected semi-simple complex algebraic group. Fix a maximal torus $T$ and a Borel subgroup $B$ such that $T\subset B\subset G$. Let $W$ the Weyl group of $G$ relative to $T$. For any $w$ in $W$, let $X_w=\bar {BwB/B}$ denote the Schubert variety corresponding to $w$. This talk is concerned with the following problem : Is there a flat family over Spec${\bf C}[t]$, such that the general fiber is $X_w$ and the special fiber is a toric variety? Our approach of the problem is based on the canonical/global base of Lusztig/Kashiwara and the so-called string parametrization of this base studied by P. Littelmann and made precise by A. Berenstein and A. Zelevinsky. Fix $w$ in $W$ and let $P^+$ be the semigroup of dominant weights. For all $\lambda$ in $P^+$, let ${\cal L}_\lambda$ be the line bundle on $G/B$ corresponding to $\lambda$. Then, the direct sum of global sections $R_w:=\bigoplus_{\lambda\in P^+}H^0(X_w,{\cal L}_\lambda)$ carries a natural structure of $P^+$-graded ${\bf C}$-algebra. Moreover, there exists a natural action of $T$ on $R_w$. Our principal result can be stated as follows : There exists a filtration $({\cal F}_m^w)_{m\in{\bf N}}$ of $R_w$ such that (i) for all $m$ in ${\bf N}$, ${\cal F}_m^w$ is compatible with the $P^+$-grading of $R_w$, (ii) for all $m$ in ${\bf N}$, ${\cal F}_m^w$ is compatible with the action of $T$, (iii) the associated graded algebra is the ${\bf C}$-algebra of the semigroup of integral points in a rational convex polyhedral cone. Equations for this cone were obtained by A. Berenstein and A. Zelevinski from $\tilde w_0$-trails in fundamental Weyl modules of the Langlands dual of $G$. By standard arguments, the previous theorem gives a positive answer to the Degeneration Problem.

The Iwahori-Hecke algebra contains an important commutative sub-algebra ${\bf C}[\theta_x]$, that was described and studied by Bernstein, Zelevinski and Lusztig. In this note we compute the generating function for the value of $\tau$ on the basis $\theta_x$.

An affine Hecke algebra H contains a large abelian subalgebra A. The center Z of H is the subalgebra of Weyl group invariant elements in A. The natural trace of the affine Hecke algebra can be written as an integral of a rational $n$ form (with values in the linear dual of H) over a certain cycle in the algebraic torus T=spec(A). We derive the Plancherel formula of the affine Hecke algebra by localization of this integral on a certain subset of spec(Z).

On certain representations of automorphism groups of an algebraically closed field

Let k be an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, F its algebraically closed extension, and G be the group of k-automorphisms of F endowed with a natural topology. One of the purposes of this paper is to show that any non-faithful continuous representation of G factors through a discrete quotient of G. Properties of representation of G arising from geometry are studied. In some cases the groups of morphisms between geometric objects are identified with the groups of morphisms between corresponding G-modules, and the ${\rm Ext}^1$'s are related. In particular, the category of abelian varieties over k with morphisms tensored with the rationals can be described as a category of G-modules.

Centralizers of distinguished nilpotent pairs and related problems

In this paper, by establishing an explicit and combinatorial description of the centralizer of a distinguished nilpotent pair in a classical simple Lie algebra, we solve in the classical case Panyushev's Conjecture which says that distinguished nilpotent pairs are wonderful, and the classification problem on almost principal nilpotent pairs. More precisely, we show that disinguished nilpotent pairs are wonderful in types A, B and C, but they are not always wonderful in type D. Also, as the corollary of the classification of almost principal nilpotent pairs, we have that almost principal nilpotent pairs do not exist in the simply-laced case and that the centralizer of an almost principal nilpotent pair in a classical simple Lie algebra is always abelian.
