Complex structures on affine groups
by Barberis, M. L.
This is a joint with I. Dotti.
On any hermitian manifold there is a distinguished connection (the
Bismut connection), which arises, for instance, in N=2 supersymmetry
under the presence of the Wess-Zumino term. Physicists call such a
connection a KT-connection (KT stands for Kaehler with torsion). In
case the manifold is hyperhermitian there is an analogous connection,
called HKT-connection, which may or may not exist, but in case it
exists it is unique. There are two types of HKT-structures on manifolds,
stron and weak, depending on whether the torsion of the corresponding
connection is closed or not.
In this work we consider complex structures on a Lie group G acting
holomorphically on a complex vector space V. In this case we show
that the corresponding affine group carries a natural left invariant
complex structure. A particular case of this construction yields a
procedure for obtaining weak HKT structures on homogeneous manifolds.
On conformal algebras
by Boyallián, Carina
This is a joint work with V. G. Kac and J. Liberati.
The associative conformal algebra Cend$_N$ and the corresponding
general Lie conformal algebra $gc_N$ are the most important examples
of simple conformal algebras which are not finite.. In this work we
classify all associative conformal subalgebras of $\hbox{Cend}_1$.
We also describe a new family of Lie conformal subalgebras of $ gc_1$
and propose a conjectural list of all of them. In the second part
we classify all irreducible conformal representations of the conformal
algebras $ gc_1$ and $ oc_1$ of finite growth.
A new proof of the $J^2$-condition for real rank one simple Lie algebras and their classification
by Ciatti, Paolo
In this work a new purely algebraic proof of the $J^2$-condition for
the nilpotent Iwasawa algebras in real rank one simple Lie algebras
is presented, yielding the classification of real rank one Lie algebras.
Local integrability of characters and D-modules
by Galina, Esther
Harish-Chandra had proved that the character of an irreducible unitary
representation of a semisimple Lie group is a G-invariant
eighendistribution. Moreover, he proved that, in the sense of
distributions, all the G-invariant eighendistribution are locally
integrable functions on G. Hotta and Kashiwara had proved that a
G-invariant eighendistribution is a solution of a regular holonomic
D-module, where D is the ring of differential operators given by the Lie
algebra of G. We present an algebraic formulation of the theorem of
Harish-Chandra and the principal steps of a proof based on the theory of
D-modules.
Restriction principle and orthogonal polynomials
by Olafson, Gestur
Let T=G/K be a Hermitian symmetric space of tube type.
Then T has also a realization as a bounded symmetric
domain D=G_b/K_b. D and T are isomorphic via a Caley
transform and the same holds for the groups G and G_b.
Let H be a symmetric subgroup of G such that H/L, L=K\cap H,
is a totally real submanifold of T (and D). We discuss representations
of H that are gotten by restricting a holomorphic representation
of G to H. We use this to construct a family of orthgonal polynomials
that generalise the Laguerra polynomials. We derive a differential
equation and a recursion formula for those polynomials by
using the holomorphic representation.
Matrix valued spherical functions associated to the complex projective plane
by Pacharoni, M. Inés
This is joint work with F. Grünbaum and J. Tirao.
The main purpose is to determine all irreducible spherical functions on
G=SU(3) of arbitrary type, that are associated to any irreducible
representation of K=S(U(2)\times U(1)). This is accomplished by
associating to a spherical function on G a matrix valued function H on
the complex projective plane P_2(C)=G/K.
By taking full advantage of the K-orbit structure of G/K the problem is
reduced to determining a function H in one real variable that is an
eigenfunction of two second order differential operator with matrix
coefficients.
The solutions to this pair of systems can be exhibited
explicitely in terms of a special class of generalized hypergeometric
functions {}_{p+1}F_p.
By a proper combination of several spherical functions corresponding to
each irreducible representation of K we get a family of matrix valued
function H(t,w) with 0<t<1 and w=0,1,..., such that the functions
H(t,w) satisfy a matrix valued differential equation in the parameter t
and a three term recursion relation in the parameter w.
Harmonic analysis on the Heisenberg groups associated to the action of U(p,q)
by Saal, Linda
This is a joint work with T. Godoy.
Here,we develop the harmonic analysis on the 2n+1 dimensional
Heisenberg group H,associated to the action of U(p,q)by automorphisms.We
determine that the algebra of left invariant differential operators,
which are also U(p,q)- invariant, has two generators L and T, where
T denotes the central element of the heisenberg algebra. We compute
the U(p,q)-invariant eigendistribution and obtain an spectral decomposition
on L(H). Also we study the decomposition into irreducible representations
of the action of U(p,q)xH on L(H) where H acts by left traslations.
Finally we determine relative fundamental solutions of the operators
L+iaT, a is a complex number. Most of these topics were developed
by several authors when we replace U(p,q) by a compact subgroups of
the symplectic group, being an important case the orthogonal group.
On unitary representations and cohomological induction
by Salamanca, Susana
I will discuss a program to reduce the classification
Problem of the Unitary dual of a real Lie group, via lowest
K type theory and cohomological induction, to a special
Class of unitary representations.
Free Akivis algebras, primitive elements, and hyperalgebras
by Shestakov
Free Akivis algebras and primitive elements in their universal enveloping
algebras are investigated. It is proved that subalgebras of free
Akivis algebras are free and that finitely generated subalgebras are
finitely residual. Decidability of the word problem for the variety
of Akivis algebras is also proved. The conjecture of K. H. Hofmann
and K.Strambach on the structure of primitive elements is proved to
be not valid, and a full system of primitive elements in free nonassociative
algebra is constructed. Finally, it is proved that every algebra
$B$ can be considered as a hyperalgebra, that is, a system with a
series of multilinear operations that plays a role of a tangent algebra
for a local analytic loop, where the hyperalgebra operations on $B$
are interpreted by certain primitive elements.
The classifying ring of a rank one semisimple Lie group
by Tirao, Juan
Let G_o be a connected, non compact real semisimple Lie group with
finite center, and let K_o denote a maximal compact subgroup of G_o.
We denote with g_o and k_o the Lie algebras of G_o and K_o and g
and k will denote the respective complexified Lie algebras. Let
U(g) be the universal enveloping algebra of g and let U(g)^K denote
the centralizer of K_o in U(g).
By the fundamental work of Harish-Chandra it is known that many deep
questions concerning the infinite dimensional representation theory
of G_o reduce to questions about the structure and finite dimensional
representation theory of the algebra U(g)^K, called the classifying
ring of G_o.
Let a be the complex abelian Lie algebra associated to an Iwasawa
decomposition G_o=K_o A_o N_o of G_o adapted to K_o. To study the
algebra U(g)^K Kostant suggested to consider the projection map P
from U(g) onto U(k) tensor U(a), corresponding to the direct sum
U(k) tensor U(a) + U(g)n associated to the Iwasawa decomposition.
It is known that the map P restricted to U(g)^K becomes an injective
antihomomorphism into U(k)^M tensor U(a), where U(k)^M denotes the
centralizer of M_o in U(k), M_o being the centralizer of A_o in K_o
and U(k)^M tensor U(a) is given the tensor product algebra structure.
A very interesting problem it is to determine the image of P(U(g)^K).
Towards this end we introduced a subalgebra B of U(k)^M tensor U(a)
defined by a set of equations derived from certain imbeddings among
Verma modules.
In this talk we shall present the main ideas towards the proof of
the the following theorem:
If the split rank of G_o is one, then P(U(g)^K) =B^{W_\rho} when rank(G_o)
is not equal to rank(K_o) and P(U(g)^K) =B when rank(G_o)=rank(K_o).
B^{W_\rho} denotes the algebra of all elements in B that are invariant
under the tensor product action of W on U(k)^M and the translated
Weyl group action on U(a).
Restriction of square integrable representations
by Vargas, Jorge
Let G be a connected semisimple noncompact Lie group and p a square
irreducible representation of G. Let H be a semisimple subgroup of G. We
choose a maximal compact subgroup K of G so that its intersection K_1 with
H is a maximal compact subgroup of K. The lowest K-type of p resctricted to
K_1 decomposes as a sum of irreducible representations, assume that one of
this factors is the lowest K_1 type of a discrete series representations Z
for H. We have
Theorem: Z is containded in the restriction of p to H.
When G=Spin(2n,1) and H=Spin(2n-1,1) inmersed in the usual way and p
integrable, we have
Theorem: the restriction of p to H is a direct integral of unitary
principal series induced from a minimal parabolic MAN by p_1, ..., p_k. The
restriction of p_j to M is obtained as follows: we restrict the lowest
K-type of p to K_1, this give us irreducible representations q_1,...q_k.
Since rank of M is equal to rank of K_1, for each q_j we fix an
irreducible representation p_j of M having the same highest weight.
Finally, we will talk of joint work with B. Orsted on the L^2-continuity
of the restriction map r. That is, we realize p as the L^2-kernel of an
elliptic operator on an homogeneous vector bundle over the symmetric space
G/K. Then H/K_1 is a submanifold of X, since we may restrict smooth
sections of a vector bundle over X to sections of the pull back of such a
bundle to H/K_1, the map r is well defined on the kernel on an elliptic
operator. We have:
Theorem: if p is integrable then r is L^2-continuous.
We also have examples where p is not L^2-continuos.
The Meromorphic continuation of the resolvent of the Laplacian on
line bundles over CH(n)
by Will, Cynthia
Let G=SU(n,1), K=S(U(n)x U(1)), and for an integer l, let T_l be a
one-dimensional K-type and let E_l the line bundle over G/K associated to
T_l. We prove that the resolvent of the Laplacian, acting on
compactly suported smooth sections of E_l is given by convolution with a
kernel which has a meromorphic continuation to C. We also prove that this
extension has only simple poles and we identify the images of the
corresponding residues with (g,K)-submodules of the principal series
representations. We show that for certain values of the parameters these
modules are holomorphic (or antiholomorphic) discrete series.
