Spherical functions and uniformly bounded representations of free groups

Tadeusz Pytlik (1991)

Studia Mathematica

We give a construction of an analytic series of uniformly bounded representations of a free group G, through the action of G on its Poisson boundary. These representations are irreducible and give as their coefficients all the spherical functions on G which tend to zero at infinity. The principal and the complementary series of unitary representations are included. We also prove that this construction and the other known constructions lead to equivalent representations.

Spherical gradient manifolds

Christian Miebach, Henrik Stötzel (2010)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We study the action of a real-reductive group G = K exp ( 𝔭 ) on a real-analytic submanifold X of a Kähler manifold. We suppose that the action of G extends holomorphically to an action of the complexified group G on this Kähler manifold such that the action of a maximal compact subgroup is Hamiltonian. The moment map induces a gradient map μ 𝔭 : X 𝔭 . We show that μ 𝔭 almost separates the K –orbits if and only if a minimal parabolic subgroup of G has an open orbit. This generalizes Brion’s characterization of spherical...

Spherical harmonics on Grassmannians

Roger Howe, Soo Teck Lee (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We propose a generalization of the theory of spherical harmonics to the context of symmetric subgroups of reductive groups acting on flag manifolds. We give some sample results for the case of the orthogonal group acting on Grassmann manifolds, especially the case of 2-planes.

Spherical unitary dual of general linear group over non-Archimidean local field

Marko Tadic (1986)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

Let F be a local non-archimedean field. The set of all equivalence classes of irreducible spherical representations of G L ( n , F ) is described in the first part of the paper. In particular, it is shown that each irreducible spherical representation is parabolically induced by an unramified character. Bernstein’s result on the irreducibility of the parabolically induced representations of G L ( n , F ) by irreducible unitary ones, and Ol’shanskij’s construction of complementary series give directly a description of all...
